Finally, some good news.

As those of you who have been reading my posts for awhile now, my husband was diagnosed recently with Stage IV lung cancer, about two weeks after my one year anniversary of my dx of MM.  Things have been tough for the last month, to say the least!!

I had my check-up at Dana Farber on Monday, and my husband and I were both afraid that the stress I've been under would affect my MM. Well ... I got my blood test results today, and my IGA protein level has dropped another 270 points!! YAY!  I have been in semi-remission for quite awhile, but I am finally down to 1800, from a high in Dec. of 6,600!! We are both ecstatic, and wanted to share some good news for a change1 :)))))

Oops. Forgot to put my "real" name. Sorry.

Maryann / Teach Oz - fantastic news! You must be so relieved. Very happy to hear that. Next month it will probably go even lower... well done! Congratulations.

Thanks, Doug. My husband is actually feeling better tonight. First time since his chemo! :)

Thanks, Anna.

It was such a relief to get good news for a change. Hope your dad is doing better.
