I started Coumadin (blood thinner) on Friday, November 24th and begin the full oral regimen on Monday, November 27th, 2006.
I will have weekly and bi-weekly blood tests and analyses once treatment is started. It is estimated that I will continue the oral treatment for approximately four months. After the oral treatment is finished, I will go to the University of Illinois at Chicago Hospital for in-house chemotherapy and bone marrow therapy.

Well, I went to my family NP and the Oncologist today. I had to have some more lab work done and then they received the authorization code from the manufacturer in order to receive the oral chemo drug, Thalidomide. I took it to Walgreens and they said they can't fill it for 3-5 days. I called a number of other pharmacies to see if anyone had it in stock and they do not. I will contact Susan at Dr. Mbaoma's office in the morning and see what they can do for me. One suggestion is to try a hospital pharmacy. We shall see. So, treatment is, much to my dismay, delayed.
