Multiple Myeloma

1-14-16

Better news: I am in remission.  I will not continue the 21 days of capsules with 7 days off and and I will have only stabilizing chemo 2 weeks on, two weeks off.  As I have mentioned, remission with MM seems to be waiting for a return, but good none-the-less.

Because of that good news, the infusion of steroids was cut back and I had only one push for nausea relief.  too early to tell, but I am expecting a much easier return to normal fatigue.

While in remission, I will be considering the repair to my mitral valve prolapse (MVP).  I should know more when I see Dr. Abonour on 3/6 - he will be looking at blood tests that day to be certain the remission is holding.

I will be back here early in February.  Hope you are having a good start in 2016.
