April Clinic - Springtime !

The title says it all - it's spring !


Winter is finally behind us and as the weather starts to warm again the signs of spring are everywhere to be seen. Our daffodils have been wonderful, now come the tulips and cherry blossom. From the image above you will see that our magnolia tree is excelling itself this year.

By now you will have realised that all is well ! I've visited my consultant today and my paraprotein has actually fallen to 4. This is truly excellent news.

Keep well and KBO
