Light Chains Rising

The latest myeloma panel shows Doug's Lambda light chains are rising - doubling from last month. This what is used as his cancer marker. Obviously this is not good, but right now the light chain level is not alarming. Just a sign the cancer cells are awake, maybe starting to rumble a bit. We already know he will need to restart treatment at some point, maybe in the near future.

The new dosing of gabapentin - 600 mg three times a day - is making Doug tire even more easily, and sometimes a bit dizzy, but its too soon to tell if it will help the neuropathy. Naps are a good thing. Otherwise, he is feeling pretty good.
