Multiple Myeloma

2-27-14

Started another two weeks off drugs yesterday.  I keep hoping I will be less tired during an off week - hate to think the fatigue is all due to age.

I did receive since my last post highlights from my last lab results.  Of the many tests listed, three are in the red, which is outside normal.  Two of those are in the "Light Chains" section, both of which I believe are significant.  But, my disease is described "in complete remission/near complete remission" which is the best choice listed, so I continue to be encouraged.

Next Monday Mary Ann and I will attend a seminar on MM conducted by Dr. Abonour.  I may get a chance to ask about the "Light Chains." 

I will give blood for testing sometime next week.  Then, on March 12, start another two weeks on the drugs.  I am not scheduled to see Dr. Abonour until April 23.  That may be incorrect since it would be during another two weeks on drugs - I need to ask about that.

I continue to have feet discomfort, mainly when lying down.  That my be my body saying "get with it."

I have had enough cold and snow.
