We got some good news from the latest round of blood sampling and today's
doctor visit. The M-spike actually decreased slightly this time, down by 0.1, after having some significantly sharp increases of 0.3 for the past couple
of times. Whereas I had at the doctor's counsel been mentally preparing to resume
chemotherapy in January (and postponing at that for insurance reasons), there is
now a real possibility that I might not resume at all in 2015. While we must
be cautions about putting too much credence on any one test, looking at the
trend over the past year and a half, not having another sharp increase makes
that big of a difference. Translation: the date for resuming chemotherapy
extends beyond the current range of forecasting.
We'll go through this again in two months. Thanks for all of your prayers
and concerns.
