After packing the car for their move to SLC for the next several weeks, Mark and Dianna met with Dr. Zangari this afternoon.
The doctor decided it would be best to wait for 10-14 days before starting the next treatment phase. The surgeon thought it would be okay to go ahead with the treatment plan but Dr. Zangari decided to err on the side of caution and see if Mark's perforated bowel will heal itself over the next several days before starting chemo again.
As long as Mark is showing no issues from the perforation, the plan will be to do another CT scan on February 17th, meet with Dr. Zangari a few days after that, and then continue on with the chemo and stem cell transplant.
In other BIG news, the results of the latest bone marrow biopsy showed that the percentage of Myeloma in Mark's plasma cells has gone from 75-80% prior to the first round of chemo to 5-10%!!! Zangari is pleased with Mark's progress so far.
So for now, Mark and Dianna will be at home awaiting the arrival of their new grandbaby.
