New Update for Maria Klump and her battle with Multiple Myeloma Maria had her blood checked on Monday April 7th, and her Lambda Light Chains(LLC's) had risen quite a bit to a reading of 107. She will be screened on Friday April 18th to go on another experimental drug. She will need to be hospitalized for 3 days when she goes on this drug, due to chance of kidney failure. This drug shows some promise, but there are few people who have been on it. As always, there are side effects with this drug as well. She also threw her back out 2 weeks ago and has been in extreme pain since. A date has not been set for her to take this drug. Please continue to keep Maria and her family in your daily prayers.
