I went to see the cancer doc today. The M-spike increased to 1.2, up by 0.2
over the past two months. The good and the bad news is that it is increasing at
its same, normal rate as before, no faster, no slower. Although the doc will not
make any predictions, I can do the math and see that at this rate, it will
probably be sometime in mid 2015 before I resume chemotherapy, if I were to use
the same trigger points as before. The better news though, is that the cancer
doc is talking like it would be kind of nuts to resume at those levels, and
might be wiser to let the cancer go higher before resuming chemo. That could
push it back another full year before resuming, to mid-2016.
Carol and I will go see the good folks at Mayo in late January, and see
what they have to say. Meanwhile, thanks for all the prayers, and happy new year
to all!
