So it looks like the adventure's going to continue. I got the results of the bone marrow biopsy yesterday, and my M-Protein was elevated, higher than when I was originally diagnosed. What that means is that the doctors believe the myeloma is still active. It also means that I'm not a candidate for a second stem cell transplant, but that's not too disappointing! I was scheduled for a PET scan Friday, but the machine broke and I'm now scheduled for Wednesday. The PET scan should show any areas the myeloma's active in, and will hopefully show what's going on with my hip/back.
That's all we really know right now. We need to wait for more test results before determining any course of treatment. Other than the hip/back thing I feel really good, so I don't anticipate any problems with treatment, I'm just ready to be done with the pain and discomfort.
Though this obviously wasn't the news we wanted, I remain positive. I'll keep fighting and keep you informed of any new test results and updates.
