There's not a whole lot to write about except the continued recovery from the chemo and transplant. The lab results usually improve day to day, and the clinic visits have been cut to two per week now and I stay about three hours instead of six as before. Some energy is returning slowly and my appetite is also returning slowly. The only new therapy is a pulmonary deal where I go in once a month to prevent a type of pneumonia from developing.
It's now been 30 days since the transplant and everything is going as well as could be hoped. Sometime between now and Day 50, I'll be released from the clinic and back to my oncologist. But I'll still be in "isolation" until Day 100 I think. I guess a more normal life will start then, I hope.

A Little Background
- Allen in Decatur, Georgia
- Although this is a Myeloma-focused blog, you may be interested in knowing that this is not my first battle with the Monster. In 2001, at age 55, I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer. That means metastatic, incurable but not untreatable, quality of life damaging, potentially fatal Prostate Cancer. So I've already been through the shock of figuring out that life will end, it's just a matter of when. Now the battle is on, facing two fronts. The PC has been under control although it's starting to reemerge a little recently. The MM is harder to control. If you're taking bets, I'd go with the MM. Just don't expect a payoff anytime soon...
