I had the third treatment in my second cycle of chemo today and everything went well again. Lab work still looks good, no side effects, and I still feel great. They'll test my protein levels sometime after the last treatment in this cycle Thursday. If my M-Protein's 0.00 or better (it's been 0.2), then this portion of treatment will be over, and we'll look forward to the stem cell transplant portion of treatment.

We go to St. Louis Monday afternoon for a day of testing Tuesday to determine if I'll be strong enough to handle the stem cell transplant. I have no doubts about passing the tests, so we'll just need to wait for the results of the M-Protein to see when the transplant portion begins. I'd forgotten that the baseball allstar game is Tuesday in St.Louis, and we hadn't made any arrangement's yet for Monday night, but we got lucky and everything's set.
