Well this cycle started out with a thud. I had finished Cycle 1 on December 17 and did all the required lab testing the next day since Margie and I, along with Cathy and Kyle, were spending Christmas week in Hilton Head. So, when I went back on the next Monday, I was told it was a no-go because my labs were out of date! It turns out they want results right before the week's infusions and this didn't qualify. News to me! So this cycle was delayed a week; no big deal.
The cycle itself was completely uneventful: no side effects of any consequence. I sure hope that continues for a while. I also had an appointment with the onc, and nothing to report there either. The numbers are not getting worse, which is good news. It will take a while before some really good numbers start coming in I suppose. I can wait. We'll just keeping plugging along.

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...
