Transplant Unsuccessful

Well its been some time since my last update but alot has happened.  Apparently in July 2011 my protien levels and light chains began to increase but the doctor didnt really tell me until September, the myeloma was not gone, the stem cell transplant did not work.  Another transplant at this time would not do anything since the first one was not a sucess.  Another option would be a donor bone marrow transplant which would not be covered by Medicare so at this point I remain on weekly Velcade injections - a change from the velcade IV they were giving me and the Revlimid, chemo in a 21 day pill form which costs $8000. a month and weekly decadron 10 every friday which is like a steroid.  Apparently my cancer is becoming immune to these drugs so we are just waiting for some new drugs to hit the market, there are some out there which might hit the shelves this year - hopefully.  So I go on trying to fight off infections all the time and doing the drug regiment and looking for any other options that may be out there.  The fight is still on .....
