Multiple Myeloma

4-30-16

Met with Dr. Abonour last Wednesday.  The offending blood test was a bit farther from remission range, which for some reason we expected, and Mary Ann and I thought infusions would resume.

Not so; Dr. A. decided to give me another month to have recovery time from the heart surgery rather than add chemo & steroid to my body.  He said the blood test was near enough to acceptable that the delay is warranted.  He was very pleased to give us that news. 

I see him again on May 25.  Again, we will expect infusions to resume.

My fatigue persists - the only symptom I have, well, not quite the only, I still have problems with my feet.  Dr. A. said to get more sleep and to exercise.  Re the feet and my mention of the cancer and the heart, he continues to add, with his big smile, age.  Fun guy.

I'm going to take his advice, at least partially, and try to nap. 

Will be back here at the end of May.
