Dear family and friends,
we can hardly believe that it has been 2 years since Roger was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. One year ago today he had a Stem Cell Transplant. One year after the SCT is a big deal. This week Roger had many tests to see what the disease is doing now. ALL GOOD NEWS!  He continues to be in remission. He will continue with Chemo 3 times a month and now has been able to discontinue or cut down on the amount of drugs. He feel good (accept for his arms - he had 4 injections yesterday and many more to come. These are childhood vaccines that were wiped out. Yesterday he got Shingles, pneumonia, DPT, and an influenza shot given to newborns).
Our concern now is that relapse is a part of this disease. Some relapse soon and others can go for years. 🤞🤞🤞
He will see his Oncologist and have blood work every 3 months. Then after one yr he will again go to the U of M for extensive testing. Our care team has been amazing and we are so grateful for the family and friend that have supported us.                  The Dr told us that
our assignment now is to live life fully as if there is no cancer.  We will do our best to live that life with determination and hope and faith.  
love, 
roger and Cindy
