Again I find myself able to report several pieces of good news. Firstly in mid-February I was able to receive my second re-vaccination against Covid. Rather as anticipated it proved difficult to persuade the administrator that this was to be an intentional re-vaccination. A doctor was called and she was able to give the necessary authorisation. Once the jab had become registered on my GP records I then requested and received my Covid Pass. International travel is now possible!
Later in February I had my fourth Immunoglobulin infusion. Again I was given pre-medications and thus avoided any reactions - phew!
This week I had a meeting with my consultant who gave me the exceptionally good news that my paraprotein count (measure of myeloma activity) was zero when checked on 1st February. This news came after I had already been told that my latest bone marrow biopsy had also found no evidence of the cancer.
During the weekend I had taken a walk around our village which is exceptionally hilly. Much to my surprise I walked much further than normal and without any breathlessness. I would seem to be slowly getting my fitness back.
Not withstanding the appalling international situation, this month I rather felt that a cheerful quotation would be in order:
Inside every old person is a young person
wondering what happened.
Terry Pratchett
Keep safe, keep well
