I just want to say how happy I am to still be enjoying life on this earth. When I was first diagnosed I wasn’t sure I would still be around by this point but here I am. I am doing well. I am living life again without daily thoughts about this cancer. I am making plans for a busy summer. Yes, in the back of my mind there are the nagging thoughts wondering when the disease will return and over thinking any little change in my health. But it’s not over yet.
Best wishes to everyone.

Re: Still kicking
Eek, I think I may have spoke to soon. My IgA jumped to 1434 mg/dl from 537 mg/dl. This was in a 3 month time span. M-spike went from 0.2 to 0.9 g/dL. My kappa/lamdba ratio is now 1.62, which is still in the normal range, but on the edge of leaving the normal range. Here’s to hoping it will drop again. I wonder if the fact I have the flu contributed to the bad numbers. I know these are still relatively low numbers, but it still gives me cause to be concerned.

Re: Still kicking
Glad you are doing well. My father just got diagnosed with multiple myeloma a few weeks ago. It's been a wild ride to the say the least. Wishing you health and happiness!
