I was phoned today by my consultant. The news was much as expected and not especially good. Despite having a week off treatment, my platelet count remains stubbornly too low to continue into Cycle 4 treatment. In addition my haemoglobin count is now giving rise for concern. He discussed the possibility, once my blood levels have been improved to the level required, I might be recruited into a further trial. This is most positive although not without some risks. Looking for good news, my liver and kidney and calcium results remain very good.
Meanwhile I am to have yet another CT scan tomorrow to see what is causing my back pain and whether the myeloma has spread perhaps into my ribs.
Keep safe, keep well and KBO
