At my monthly consultant's appointment I was again told that everything is fundamentally OK. At last month's blood test paraprotein remained undetectable. The CAR-T cells continue their fight against any myeloma. Both my Haemaglobin and platelet counts had improved. My neutrophil level was still lower than preferable and I was instructed to self administer GCSF more often.
A few days ago, my clinical trial nurse phoned me to check that I have had or would shortly have a "Reinforcing (Booster) Covid vaccination. I had previously received a letter from the NHS and the timing was perfect being a minimum of 3 months since my last vaccination. I was able to book an appointment locally this week. I have so far had my original two doses. I then had to have a course of 3 doses after receiving CAR-T cell infusion. This. then. will be my sixth vaccination!
Yet again we have the very good fortune to be looking after a certain black spaniel whilst our son and his girlfriend take a well-earned short holiday.
Keep safe, keep well
Stephen
