Today Bob was back at Tom Baker Cancer Center. This was his monthly check up--mostly so he is able to get the chemo drugs for another three weeks. We are so thankful that all the lab work that is done before these appointments--keeps the docs up on what the cancer is doing. Glad to have that watched so closely. All this means that he is almost done the week of being chemo free. We don't miss some of the side affects but the drugs do keep some of the aches and pains in check. This very wet, cold weather could also be the reason that extra pains are showing up. Either way today was positive, some of the markers have dropped a wee bit---so much better than going up!!!!!! He has the appointment for the next PET scan which will be Aug.2. Looks like it could be a calm summer for Bob health wise.
Ta Da---the numbers HGB--145
Monoclonal #1--1.7
Kappa/Lambda Free Ratio--1.14
i hope his aches and pains are not brought on by fixing tires for crazy people... ! i used my van 4 times so far since Bob fixed it. *grateful every time*
ReplyDeleteNo, Paige, Bob loves doing stuff like that. We think he has some arthritis and when he is off of dex--nothing is masked.
