Day 64. Labs From Tuesday

My M-spike is now at 1.6. Apparently it’s likely to fall a little bit from there (this far out from the chemotherapy I would have thought it would rise as new clones take up residence but I’m assured that’s not the way things usually go and nobody really understands why). Either way, that’s the lowest it’s ever been measured. The insurance blood work I had in 1991 showed total globulins of 5.6 and they’re now 4.0. I going to take that to mean my disease has been knocked back to what it was in the 1980s. Or earlier. Before I knew I had it, anyway.

Hemoglogin is now 11.4, which rise couldn’t be due to just one dose of EPO so I won’t be getting any more of that, either. The plan was to get as nearly drug-free as we could and that’s certainly what’s happening. Tomorrow I’m going to put myself on the work schedule for June.

  1. W00t!

    The jargon is making an interesting wooshing sound as it goes over my head, but I certainly understand what going back to work must mean, on many levels. Congratulations and kudos to the entire team!

  2. Well I have not heard anymore so I am hoping for the best. It sounds like everything is going really well and you will be keeping the date for Vegas. I am so happy for you. Try not to over do it at work but it is exciting that you will return to normal activities soon. God Bless you and the family and we are still keeping you in our prayers. Love you.
