Day 93
Hackensack called and we have a followup appointment with them on the 25th in New Jersey. My paraprotein measures 0.3 which amounts to a Very Good Partial Response but not a complete remission. In the mean time I've developed some very acute pain in my left leg from the buttocks on down with some numbness in my toes. It may be related to Stenosis and not my Multiple Myeloma. I'm going to have an MRI as soon as they can get it scheduled to be followed by an appointment with an Orthopedic doctor where I had my knee replacement. My GP put me on steroids but they haven't had any appreciable impact. I can't lie down to sleep, so I sleep sitting up on the couch. Other than that everything is going well except I'm going to miss the annual golf outing at Pinehurst this weekend. The thought of attempting to swing a golf club makes me grimmace. The hair on my head is begining to show it's fuzzy self. Maybe it will be fully grown by the time of Amy and Kevin's wedding in May.

Good luck with everything! Maybe will get to see you when you come up for your check up at Hackensack! I hope you begin to feel better. Can't wait for Amy and Kevin's wedding!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it all, Robert. I'll be thinking of you. We're headed to NJ that day as well. It's Mom's 87th.
ReplyDeleteHey Robert. Hope you are feeling a bit better at this point and that those steriods worked eventually. And I hope this snow they are forecasting does not get in the way of your trip. Your sister, Eileen
ReplyDeleteHey Rob - good to hear from you. Hope the appt at Hackensack went well. I hear you may have surgery on the 19th, some of your "sistas" will be in NC that week and I am sure we will be there for you both. Until then, take care and hope to see you soon. Love ya. Liz
