Our road on this myeloma journey continues to be smooth. Doug's latest results from the myeloma blood panel shows no sign of the M protein. All blood work is stable. He will continue to be checked every three months. We are so blessed.
Doug had his cardiology check up in April. An EKG was done and shows no problems. He only has to see the cardiologist once a year now. It is amazing to me that his heart is so well now, when two years ago he was on life support because of the virus in his heart.
Doug also went to the opthalmologist office for an optic nerve test. The Dr. calls the test results "worrysome". Evidently the optic nerve shows more damage from the glaucoma. (It can't be proven, but I am suspicious that the chemo caused the glaucoma.) The eye pressure is down, so that part is good. I put the eye drops in Doug's eyes every night, so I am sure he is taking them faithfully.
We are living a high quality life and are so thankful for this time. God is so good! We are looking forward to our oldest grandson's high school graduation in Denver later this month.
It snowed here in Buena Vista last night. We need the moisture, but a nice warm spring rain would be most welcome. However I sure can't complain about anything!
Love to all of you.
A journey dealing with Multiple Myeloma, from the viewpoint of the wife. The road is sometimes a smooth highway and sometimes a bumpy dirt trail. But we are never lost. God walks with us. Doug was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in August 2008. As of October 2011, Doug's Myeloma has morphed into Lambda Light Chain Myeloma.
