BMT Doc

I saw Dr. Comeau, one of the transplant doctors at UNC last week. This was my second time meeting him, although I don’t think he remembered me. We talked about what the program at UNC entails. It’s all online at http://www.mysct.org. One of the things we talked about is my sensitivity to drugs. I experience side effects at low doses. I had a time with thalidomide and am having difficulties with dex. One thing he told me is that before I go through high dose chemo, I have to lose 20-30 lbs. That will help reduce some of the toxicity, since the dose is determined by weight.
