I received another bag of platelets today and one unit of blood. My body, of course, is still not producing enough platelets to keep up.
My white count went from 0.56 yesterday to 0.79 today. Of course, I was very glad to see that increase. The best news I got today was from my myeloma markers test which are done on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Kappa free light chains went from 8.60 last Wednesday to 7.07 today. They should not exceed 1.94. I had feared that they would actually go up and the doctor on the weekend prepared me to see a result where they did increase but I am very thankful that it actually went down. Of course this past chemo was just to get the myeloma knocked down to where it can be managed in some way and will come back as bad as it was if nothing else is done. The weekend doctor told me that I may need to have a bone marrow biopsy just to check to see if the myeloma has actually decreased or has only decreased the markers.
I am very thankful for all the prayers that have gone out asking God for my healing.

Today was the 31st day in the hospital.
