Dinius Fam Happenings

This will be a “flash post” of sorts — I’ve got a ton to do today but wanted to give an update on Lonnie.

He got a call yesterday from his oncologist, who informed him that his “bad” proteins were the highest they’d been since he was diagnosed. Other proteins they look for in the labwork were high, as well.  By way of explanation, high levels of certain proteins usually signifies that the cancer is getting more active. There are no plans for treatment yet — he’ll be going in for his next lab tests in April (a month sooner than usual). If the numbers remain high or continue to rise, his doctor may suggest the next course of action, or refer him back to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

If you’re new to this blog, you may not know that Lonnie was diagnosed in early March of 2006 with Multiple Myeloma. He received the call with this news the day before Bethany turned three weeks old.

Prayers for Lonnie would be appreciated!
