More medication for Pop


Back from Dr. Buth appt. Pop really respects Dr. Buth and is always very open with him. Discussed depression w/Pop on way to MD appt and he actually asked Dr. Buth about it on his own. Dr. Buth gave samples of Cymbalta 30mg daily for one week, increasing to 60mg the following week. Dr. Buth told Pop it is reasonable to have some depression with uncertainty of diagnosis and advised him Cymbalta would also enhance the current pain medications. Dr. Buth indicated still waiting for one more test to R/O Multiple Myeloma and advised Pop no firm diagnosis until tissue samples (from biopsies) are available.

Called Dr. Moore's office. S/W his nurse. She indicated bone marrow biopsy report now available, will need to discuss with Dr. Moore and will call me back later today to advise if we are going to proceed with the prostate biopsy on Monday.

Can someone put a melody to the words---"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...? Would like to put "wait" to a good use. Am going out to mow and clean out some flower beds---Raol didn't show up this AM.

Love,
Mom
