YES!

Dr Callandar walked into his room a few minutes ago, and I burst into tears. I'd been thinking this morning of trying to find her and ask about the catch 22 of waiting til he stabilized to go after the myeloma. And then, she appeared! And said just that, that we needed to hit the myeloma hard and then look for stabilization.
So, the plan is
he'll get a super dose of Cytoxin, which is the intense chemo he got with his transplant. It'll knock his immune system out completely by next week and hopefully put a big dent in the myeloma. He'll stay in the hospital til he's safe to go home. There's a little crackle in his lungs that they're going to x ray but it's likely they'll start him on antibiotics anyway since when his immune system goes, he wouldn't have much to fight pneumonia with.

I am feeling
safer and grateful.
