Freda saw the doctor yesterday (Monday).

Freda saw the doctor yesterday (Monday). Current test results show increased myeloma activity in the bone marrow. She will be undergoing further testing Thursday and Friday to determine more about the aggressiveness of the myeloma cells in the marrow. She will see her doctor again on Monday (11/3) and he, in consultation with the head doctor at the Myeloma Center, will determine what treatment to do next. The current indication is that it will be a higher dose chemo followed by either a stem cell transplant or a stem cell boost. She will remain in Arkansas and start the treatment immediately because the doctors think it is important not to wait and give the disease any more time to increase. She continues to remain encouraged by your cards and, most importantly, your prayers. Please continue to pray for her.
