4 month check tomorrow in NYC

Hello,

Good Luck to you.  Each time you get a check up it always is a time of some additional stress.  Keeping things in perspective that the news is just as likely to be positive as negative (unless you have more symptoms) keeps your mind in a place that is less stress on the body.

Seems that my spouse is seeing improvement with the chemo, although he isn't feeling real well right now, the doctors visits have been positive in that the "beast" is being beaten pretty hard with the chemo stick!

Hope the news is good....and that the beast is being put down.  AMW

From Anna,

Hi Hopful, Good luck on your Dr. appointment.

Your friend,

Anna

I know exactly how you feel. I tend to stress, too, about what the tests will show, but it doesn't help to stress out. In fact, it can make things worse. Put a smile on when you go through that door tomorrow, and maybe it will convince you to be more positive.  Good luck!

Hello,

Thanks to all ..It looks like I'm stable at this time! with SMM

One thing that I'm not happy about is I think they  got my IGG number wrong on my graph report. It did not match my lab report.

In May my IGG was on the lab report was 2358...On my graph report today it was 3372....If this is an error...What other things are they not getting right...errrr

Lesson is: 

You have to SAVE and get copies of ALL your lab reports and check it over!!!

Good night to all....I need a nap its been a long day!

Dear Hopeful 1966,

Glad to hear everything is still stable.  I know how stressful this can be. 

I have IgG Kappa SMM also.  My numbers are almost identical to yours.  Would you mind sharing your numbers for purposes of comparison?

For example, K/L Ratio; HGB and HCT, total protein, M spike and bone marrow %-age? 

There aren't too many of us "smolderers", so don't be shy and stay away. 

All the best.
