Our new neighbor was killed in Iraq last week. He had just built a new home on our street a few months ago. I never got the chance to meet him, because he was rarely home. Now I know why. He was overseas. There are a few soldiers living on [...]

of Revlimid to take before I have a week off everything. On February 8th,
I’ll have my first SPEP and quantitative Ig tests [...]

I just saw a report on CNN about how most insurance companies will not pay for drugs for fertility treatments. They talked to a few people who were selling their excess drug supplies to people who needed them, which saved them some money. They said the treatment can cost about $15k and may only be [...]

I took my dog out for a walk this evening, and what actually ended up happening was a fight with another dog. A very small Yorkshire terrier that wasn’t on a leash. I found out that I’m not in control of my dog. Not even close. I don’t have a BIG [...]

When you’re taking new drugs, you assume that any weirdness you feel are side effects. I’m guessing that’s the case with me. The first 3-4 days I was on rev/dex, I had a pretty terrible headache. That has subsided. Was it the dex? Not sure. I’m off for 2 more [...]

If you want to laugh, try watching Arrested Development on Fox. It’s not for everyone but, if you have a little bit of a warped sense of humor, you’ll really, really like it. The show stars Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Jason Bateman, David Cross and others. There have been some wonderful guest [...]
