100 Day Evaluation

No time like the present. Today the Dr. was happy with Dirk's improvements. He mentioned prior to transplant there was a long discussion about Dirk's situation . With the fluid on his lungs they almost cancelled the stem cell transplant. They have not seen anyone like Dirk where they are impacted in their arms,legs and body. A lot of amyloid patients are impacted in their heart muscle. They have quite a book on his health.

With all this being said the Dr. said he has had partial response. They want to keep in a forward direction so they recommend he start a lo dose in pill form of the chemo 4 days out of the month. This should have a minimal impact.

This recommendation isn't founded on research because there isn't any. By what they know about Dirk and how his body responds.

We are hopeful this is a good choice. We appreciate those who care for Dirk.
