Re: Back pain getting worse, not improving, during treatment

Doctor says blood work is showing progression on the cancer. In some patients Velcade can cause serious nerve damage, numbness in hands and feet can be permanent. We will take a three-week reprieve from the Velcade, check blood work and will most properly use a different chemo?

Back pain is tolerable with pain pills, appetite is gone but not losing weight. Positive that by next summer will be fishing again.

Could never had made it without the love and attention of my wonderful wife.

Stay safe and positive,
