Well, funny you should ask! My cousin Jamie (Thanks, Jamie!) gave me the heads up on this news story that appeared on the Today show. The medication that Ferraro talks about in the video is the same medication Mom is taking now.
In fact, she just completed her second cycle and now has the week off. Next week she will start cycle #3. She is improving every day. Although she still has pain in her chest and ribs, her breathing, walking, moving, and eating are 1000% better.
When Mom was in the hospital, one of the doctors told my dad about a patient who was in the same condition as Mom, and after three cycles of Velcade, they were doing much better... pain free, gaining weight... We can certainly see that it is working well for mom too!
