Good News Update: Still in Full Response
AI-generated title
So guys and dolls. As some know I went to get my results from my blood test last week. Anyway the usual of waiting around for half an hour and their was no hot chocolate this time so I had to settle for coffee. But hey beggers can't be choosers. I got shouted by my chemo nurse, we went and sat down and my consultant said "Your Paraprotein is zero which we like, and your light chains are excellent, which we love even more". So I'm still classed as in full response, I'm happy to report, I have felt tired over the past few weeks and so it left me asking myself if the beast had returned, I did discuss this with my consultant and the Dr's have taken me off Ferris aka iron, so she thinks it could be down to that so has suggested taking either an iron supplement or multivitamin until my bloods are done in November and to stop taking it a week before so if I'm low on it then it will still show up. I agreed. Anyway of course I'm happy to still be in remission but I'm also mindful that one day I won't be and that there are others who aren't this currently or have already relapsed, my thoughts of course are with you guys because I know it's not easy and the chemo etc aren't nice to go through. This isn't meant to be a rubbing your face in it thing and so I just want to make it clear on closing but I did want to let people know the results as I said I would. :-)
