Yet again another month with excellent news. My consultant explained that my last test for paraprotein was negative so the CAR-T cells continue their role. My platelet count remains low but this is not causing any problems. My neutrophil level is too low requiring that I return to self-administered (injected) GCSF.
Since my last appointment, Margaret and I have had a week's holiday in Cyprus where the temperature was in the mid 20s - perfect. We pampered ourselves staying in a luxury hotel. Having spent so long in the peace and quite of isolation and even when attending hospital, at least 2 metres from anyone, the experience of being on an aircraft was quite unnerving. The cabin was noisy and my fellow passengers were just 18 inches away.
Despite a "7 day" holiday only actually being 5 days due to travel, we still had a wonderful time.
Here I'm enjoying a shandy (honest) at our favourite restaurant at Avdimou Beach.
Sheer bliss.
