I got my full blood tests back today. It was a total mix bag of good and bad news. How can my M-spike go way down. My IgG go down but my Kappa/Lambda numbers go crazy ! I'm up a full 1% in the ratio in 6 months. Plus my RBC is now 3.83 and my HGB is 12.7. I'm noticing that my bike rides are harder climbing hills... Is there a connection? I just don't know.
So I had an appointment with my Oncologist but it had to be cancelled at the last min. due to her being called to the hospital. No problem with that as I'm sure that the person there was much more in need that I am. I totally expect her to tell me that all is OK and to stop worrying. I've done this before, worried about #'s that are no big deal. Because I have almost 2 weeks until I can see her again I called the IMF hotline. She called me back but I was gone. She gave me her direct line and I will call her tomorrow.
So... I will relax and be glad I feel good and keep riding my bike. When all else fails go out do a quick 26+ mile and kill those little buggers!
I will post when I have more info... Still thankful that I feel this good and pray that all the readers of this blog are doing as good as I am.
The body is sick, but thanks to Jesus the soul is alive and well...

Hi Steve, being able to ride 26+ miles is a positive. With the RBC below normal I would think the hill climbing would be more difficult. Is this count lower than your previous? I don't worry too much about the kappa/lambda ratio. What is the individual kappa and lambda numbers? I would think your M-spike number is a better indicator of your myeloma load than the kappa/lambda ratio.
ReplyDeleteWell Steven, I hope, and feel certain, you will get a good report from your oncologist because you are feeling well and still biking 26+ miles...no easy task for us ordinary folks! EZ really wants to be able to ride a bike, but with the sacrum still fragile, it doesn't seem to be in the picture right now unless we can get something reclined. There are so many beautiful Rail to Trail routes he would love to experience. Hopefully one day! Good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteHi, Steven, I'm like you in that the Kappa/Lamba numbers and continually changing ratio drive me nuts. My oncologist at M.D. Anderson tells me monthly to quit worrying about them as he's not concerned in the least. So, Steven, quit worrying! Be happy! Lovey
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone... All good advise. This is a strange cancer and the questions never seem to end!! Glad I have some great friends out there who help me keep focused!!
