Good Evening Cath;
"Surely you don't want to reach Stage IV Kevin??"
I prefer to look at as an extra quarter in this battle. I don't feel comfortable being at Stage III, when there is no Stage IV! That means we're in the closing minutes of this competition, and I'm not ready to punt.
"Wouldn't you rather be going back to stage 1??"
Of course1 But that can't happen. Drs. tell me that your stage can never go backwards. I'll always be Stage III, even though my numbers have fallen to Stage I.
"I would think that now that you've had the transplant that you will be heading for 'normal' readings across the board!!"
I had hoped that same feeling. However, my M-spike at last reading was 1.2. The Dr. tells my not to worry that the level will come down as I go further along in my remission. Let the transplant work he tells me. So for right now I'm placing my complete trust in the hands of a man who I never knew existed 10 months ago!
"Keep getting better and better!!"
Thank you! I'm trying, but the fatigue is something that takes getting used to. Almost reminds me of how I felt back in May prior to my Dx.
Enough about me, how are you progressing along? You should be entering your Fall season shortly, no? Spring appears to be arriving here finally. Can't wait to get my toes in my garden's soil. Maybe this year I'll wait till its dark and get naked and roll around in that cool earth. Listen to me, it must be the chemo talking!
Take care;
Kevin
