Re: Chemo Failed

Well....my Dr. at Duke is saying that the chemo did not fail and although I have not talked to her in explicit terms ...we have an all day meeting Dec 20 with testing pre - SCT......I di get the results of my IG Light Chain Serums and they are all normal...as normal as right in the middle of the scale. I cannot get words out of anyone it seems but. I have O M-Spike and my Light Chain Serums are VERY normal

IG FREE LIGHT CHAINS SERUM
Reference
IG FREE LIGHT CHAIN KAPPA 1.09 mg/dL [0.33-1.94]
IG FREE LIGHT CHAIN LAMBDA 1.01 mg/dL [0.57-2.63]
IG FLC KAPPA/LAMBDA RATIO 1.08 [0.26-1.65]

I do not have the comparative numbers but does this mean I am in a pretty strong remission??? I have only done 4 cycles of RDV and really nothing else besides fixing a tumor on my spine. Everywhere I read is say full remission....I don't want to bother Dr. G until our appointment but...does this look good???

Thank you!
