Starting a second chemo regiment

Velcade is being started tonight along with Methotrexate.


Although Velcade is a chemo drug, it is really being used along with two others for control of graft versus host disease.


The chance of getting some kind of GVHD reaction is pretty high with an unrelated stem cell donor.


I am already on Tacrolimus for GVHD control so these trials should stack to help reduce the effects.
