November 4, 2013.. I am finally feeling some of the negative effects of the chemo. I know within the next couple of weeks, I will feel much worse. The time I had this chemo before, I reached a low point a week or so after I went off the chemo. We were at the hospital today 3 hours and 15 minutes. We have a different APN assigned to me this time. I feel good about that at this point. 

My lab results today were... white count..3.13, hemoglobin..8.4, platelets..157. 

We saw a couple today that we met here last June. He has myeloma and when diagnosed, it was pretty advanced. He was unable to walk at the time and was very pale. The next time we saw him, he was walking, had gone on a camping trip and he looked so much better. He looked good today and is not receiving any treatment and has not for several months, not even any maintenance treatments. One very sad thing happened to them one month ago. Their home burned and they lost everything. They had photos on his phone and it was a very nice home.
