Good news yesterday: all the labs are within normal limits. The Kappa Chain reading which had been way outside normal decreased from 600+ to 5.5, well within the normal range of (3.3-19.4). So, my MM is dormant (my definition) which is as good as it can get since MM is not curable.
I will start another three week regimen on January 7, then see Dr. Abonour again on February 4. Good news about that, too, he is decreasing the steroid by 50% so the "up" and "down" should be less severe. No relief from fatigue nor apparently from troublesome feet, but I can live with those, literally. I don't know how long the regimens will continue.
Dr. Abonour, his chief nurse, and the nurses in the infusion room were delighted -me, too.
I hope there is good news for you as we begin a new year.
I will return here after February 4.
