Cycle 1: Late Oct blood test results - Cancer levels dropped alot!
Photo: I love nap time as I have chronic fatigue due to my multiple myeloma and low energy from chemo treatment.
I'm so happy to announce that my late Oct blood test results show a decrease in cancer levels, even though I was only on IV chemo for 2 weeks (4 sessions) rather than 3 weeks for Cycle 1 (6 sessions).
My cancer levels (m protein) dropped from 48 (Early Oct results) 5 weeks ago to 27 (Late Oct results) last week. This means my treatment is working already, which feels amazing, as IV chemo is a pretty intense process. I’m excited to see my next test results later this month.
This week I begin Cycle 2 of chemo using my fancy new Port.
M protein (g/L) (0 = no cancer detected)
Late Oct = 27
Early Oct = 48
Sept = 41
Aug = between 37 and 38
July = between 31 and 32
June = 25
Feeling great!
I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable.
From October 2018 I've been on Kyprolis (carfilzomib), an IV chemo with Cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone.
