MIRT/Little Rock, Arkansas

by jhumhc on Sun Nov 07, 2010 7:59 pm

We are currently in Little Rock Arkansas. My husband, 64, with aggressive multiple myeloma/IGA will begin
the TT5 treatment tomorrow. Has anyone been treated here in the recent past or presently?

Thanks,

Make sure you get assigned an APN. I don't know why some get assigned them and others do not. Having an APN you can go to and one who is checking on you, will greatly enhance your treatment experience. If you don't have one then you have to wait for a doctor to stop by if you need greater assistance and they can't do that until they finish rounds and appointments so it makes for very long days. So if you don't have one, get to work on that.

Good luck.
