We just got back from Becky's appointment with her oncologist.  News was very, very good.  While the disease is still present it has stayed at a greatly reduced level for the last 3 months. 

By the numbers:

Her kappa protein level was 4.19 now and was 4.19 3 months ago (was 65 1 year ago).  this is the one that is broke.  .3-1.9 is normal.

Her lambda protein was 1.1.  Normal is .3-1.9 and it has been normal through the whole ordeal.

Her ratio of lambda to kappa is 4.  It was 13 3 months and 133 one year ago.  normal is 1-2.

Her creatinine, rbc, wbc, etc are all perfect.  She is on now medication and doesn't need any at this time.  She will start receiving immunizations that were canceled out by the transplant.

So things are just pretty darn normal and peachy around here!

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.  We are going to keep moving on down the road, Becky's heading out for a 3 mile run with Emma and we don't have to worry about any appts for several more months!

We have a really neat side story from the visit today we'll share with you when we get a minute.  For now we're just going to chill!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Becky and Doug
