To All-
Marty has been diagnoised with advanced Lupus. It has attacked his kidneys and his function is stable, but bad. The kidney biopsie indicated that there was little scar tissue so, doctors are hopeful that with treatment, there will be minimal perment damage to them.
Since the Lupus is so advanced, they are treating him with Chemotherepy. He had his first round of chemo yesterday, it went well... very view side effects as of now. He will continue to have chemo once a month for the next 6 months. In between the chemo, he will be taking steriods, and various other drugs to "boost" his immunity, stem cell (bone marrow) production, and hopefully increase kidney function.
The "dosage" of all these drugs depends upon the almost weekly blood tests he will have. He is in relatively good spirits. He is feeling OK- he is eating well and is starting to get up and walk around more and more. He is anxous to come home. We are waiting for a few more test results to come in, but it looks like he may be home this weekend and his treatment will continue as "out patient".
Lupus is never "cured", like cancer, the hope is to put this auto-immune virus into "remission". There are no genetic links to this virus.... according to the team of doctors treating Marty (which include a kidney specialist, an oncologist, a hemotologist and a rhumotologist)... he is a medical mystery. Lupus is most commonly found in women between 15- 25 years old. It is usually detected early and in most cases takes YEARS before it attaches to a system of the body. Based on his past medical history, the doctors believe that the "lupus" virus has been active in his system since February and has been moving fast. The fever, swelling and joint pain and the vomiting- all of which lead me to bring him to the ER last week, are attributed to the kidney failure. Luckily, his kindey functiion is not declining and his fever and vomiting has stopped.
Thanks everyone for the cards, e-mails and prayers. We feel blessed to have such an amazing support group. I will e-mail you all as soon as more information is know.
Dina and Marty
