September 13, 2017..  As Charles Stanley often says "NOW WATCH THIS". Today, doctor Van Rhee told me according to my situation, the test results "CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS". I could tell he was really pleased with what the tests were showing and so were we. One of the markers they look at is the percent plasma cells in the bone marrow biopsy. Mine were about 80% (the highest they had ever been) when we got here in early June. The test this week showed .0001%. On his report, he said if it had been any lower, it would have been undetectable. (Lower is good.) The imaging showed the lesions were gone! See what your prayers have done? Thank you and God for doing that. These are the best numbers I have had since I was diagnosed in early 2012.
I have started on the new treatment today and will get another treatment tomorrow. I will have the same treatment schedule I had before last December which is get two treatments per week for 3 weeks then get 13 days off. I will have to return here in one month for a few tests and review how things are going. I won't have to get the full round of tests I normally get.
Thank you wonderful friends and family for your support and prayers.
