Hi Mike:

Surely hope and wish that You successfully defeat MM and that T therapy will help.

Are you currently on T monotherapy?

<<''This study supports prior observations of thalidomide's efficacy in multiple myeloma, but also highlights its therapeutic benefit at low, well- tolerated dosages,' said Dr. Durie. ''Lower doses of thalidomide mean less side effects and will allow more patients to remain on therapy longer and thus receive the full benefit of this remarkable drug.'>>

Seams that lower T dose (like yours, 200-400 mg/day) is as good as high dose (800-1600mg/day), so CHOP combination, if tolerable, (I am looking forward to hear results from this trial, by year-end) will be logical approach for healthy person newly diagnosed with MM.

CELG is doing good progress with T development, and (+)-R results may be another nice surprise (I mean positive one).

Cheers, and God be with you.
