Very pleased to report that BOTH ARE OK.<\/p>\n
I heard about the PET CT being as hoped for some time back, and this scan (a radioactive one) is something that's been clear for quite a while now.<\/p>\n
But I was in for the Bone Marrow Biopsy on 15th January so it's been a bit of an anxious wait to hear what they would say, as there has been a low percentage of myeloma cells identifiable in either the trephine (bony bit) or the fluid (wet bit!) on both the BMBs last year.<\/p>\n
The trephine was clear this time and there were 0.7% of myeloma cells present this time – slightly up from last summer's biopsy, but not up enough to cause any concern – or for Prof to want to shift me onto a different treatment regime (my big worry!)<\/p>\n
SO – big sigh of relief that hopefully I'm ok for the next 6 months to carry on doing everything that's in the diary and on the horizon. Always having to juggle it around my 3 visits for chemo\/immuno every 4 weeks, but I've kind of got that down to an art these days, so on we go.<\/p>\n
Even had the bonus of the (very sweet) Dr Abboudi who does the biopsy saying 'Mrs Hawkes have you lost weight?' as I went into the surgery area…. I'll take that! x<\/p>\n
