Update 2 on lytic lesion right femur from myeloma.
Last week I had an appointment with orthopedics to discuss bone progress and to x-ray the leg.
The rod and pins are all stable.
The myeloma lesion has not reduced; it seems to have increased slightly. As I am only 3 weeks into treatment for myeloma (Rev-lite trial) there is some catch up on lesion/myeloma reduction to go there. I did not expect the lesion to reduce the day treatment started. The bone doctor is reporting back to my Haematologist on this.
Next week I have an appointment for the completion of the first cycle of the Rev-lite trial where I can quiz my Haematologist on all those matters.
I am making good progress with leg strengthening and walking around the home with the big walker. I can put more weight on the leg now.
Next goal is to drive the car. To qualify I have to get in and out of the car, start and run the car (it’s an automatic) and be able to walk a reasonable distance.
Now I’m getting all excited!

Did you see that article on I think Living with Myeloma about a trial in Singapore with a bone rebuilding bone antibody. I have probably got that all mixed up! Good news on the mobility progress.
You're such a trooper, Sid. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us all.
Hi Sid
No updates since May 23rd. Hope all is well with you. My childhood friend has been diagnosed with 3rd stage m/myeloma and your Blog has been valuable in getting my head around what she is likely to face.
All the best,
Krys
