Went in for blood yesterday and am juiced back up. When I went to see Dr. Page (my oncologist) Wednesday, we were checking my numbers- IgM and IgG are in the normal range and the IgA is low. The IgM helps see how active the cancer is and it is lower than it has been in forever and that is a great thing. That is one good thing the stem cell transplant did so there was some success. If the Amyloidosis had not attacked me and if the stem cells had developed properly, I would be in pretty good shape. I could live with the cancer but of course, that is what happens. Waldenstrom's allows other diseases and problems to attack the patient because the immune system is so bad. I was glad of the good news and another good thing is the Exjade (the iron binder) is bringing my Ferritin/Iron numbers down. They have come down from in the 3,500 range to in the 1,700 range and that takes some of the pressure off my liver and heart. They also checked my chest and there seems to be no pneumonia so that has been taken care of. He said I looked great and for all my problems, the numbers are good. So, all in all it has been a good week.
