Routine Follow Up

Things have been very quiet here on the blog recently; that’s because my lymphoma has also been very quiet, thankfully!

I had a regularly scheduled visit with Dr. Hema5 who, after analyzing my recent blood test results and prodding and poking me a bit, said that he is having a hard time finding anything wrong! 

Although my IgM number is up a bit, as expected, it is not alarmingly so and therefore neither the doctor nor I are concerned.

We discussed treatment options for the time, many years from now, we hope, that the numbers peak and my energy and overall health decline. He said that there are new options coming along regularly; options with fewer side effects and lower cost. 

Finally, he gave me the best news I’ve heard in a long time: “See you in six months.”

Awesome news! Now I can plan a long vacation for My Wonderful Wife and me!
