Monday we drove to Denver for Doug's PET scan. Compared to the last scan in 2014, there are no new bone lesions! Very good news! But the radiologist did see some activity in a few lymph nodes. Several small nodes in his chest, and one above the collar bone. The oncologist could not feel anything there. Multiple Myeloma does not usually go to lymph nodes, so it is a mystery. And we are not going to worry about it.
The light chains are high but stable. So Doug will stay on his current regime of Pomalyst and Prednisone. No infusions yet! Doug will get blood drawn every month for the myeloma panel (to check light chains), and we will see the oncologist every two months.
It was a long 14 hour day from start to finish but a good day! No weather or traffic problems.
Praise God, and blessings to all.
