Hi Ted
Frank is like you. He was diagnosd in Sept 2006. Only teatment was about 6 weeks on Zometa. We were at consultant today and I have to say it was the quickest appointment ever. We got there at 8.30am. bloods taken about 9.00am. Called into the consultant, she asked Frank how he was, he said "fine". She said his protein had come down from 30 to 28 (don't know how they work it, as I read on forum some protein at 3) Said haeamaglobin up from 10.5 to 12, light chains good, calcium good and kidney function excellent. "See you in 2 mmonths time". At the very most we were in there for 3 minutes which suited Frank down to the ground. I am a nervous wreck by the time we see her, but thank God he is still stable.
I wish you well for your appointment and lets know how you get on.
Best wishes and luck
Love Jean xx
