Very little to report. I spoke to my consultant today and my treatment continues with cycle number 7. One of the measures called serum free light chain has continued to fall indicating at least some response to treatment. My paraprotein levels also indicate some response. Importantly the myeloma doesn't seem to be doing me any damage and my pain levels have been brought under control.
My most recent blood test indicates that I will require a further platelet infusion on Friday but at least I already had an appointment booked for that very purpose. Soon (in six weeks time) I will have completed cycle 9 and will move to treatment that only involves Daratumumab maintenance and importantly not requiring Velcade (which rends to lower my platelets). I will then be able to start the process of building my platelet count back up again.
Keep safe, keep well and KBO
