Journal entry by Matthew McKinnon

I am very thankful to share with you the numbers that are going in the right directions. First the Free Light Chain, or multiple myeloma number is currently standing at 14.3 (aiming for zero) down from 26.7 back in February. My weight has stabilized at 142, the red blood cells at 3.54 (4.0 is the goal) and my white blood cells 4.05. God has blessed my recovery and I'm on the mend as my weekly transfusions have me gaining the steps towards remission.

There is a really good response for the whole process as I've been a pain free since December with the doctors overseeing the progression through this cancer. God is seeing me through this. He is helping me with gaining strength and recuperation to be back on my feet so that I'm back full time at work. My hope is in Him and my trust in His healing power to heal my body. Thank you so much for your prayers and your help to put me before the Lord.
