Had/acquired a telephone consultation today from Raigmore re the latest lot of bloods. The critical para-protein level has fallen yet again, down to 4.8 from 6.6 last month and 8.4 the previous month. Consultant said they were "very happy" with that - just not as happy as I am....!
All other indicators are good so the new treatment seems to be working very well. I start a fresh cycle tomorrow for another 4 weeks, fingers crossed the results continue their progress.

Multiple Myeloma, born in the white cells so kinda related I guess?
Google says... "Multiple myeloma and leukemia are both types of blood cancers but they are not the same disease. Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that affects plasma cells, which are a certain type of white blood cell. In multiple myeloma, the body produces too many plasma cells in the bone marrow."

Depends how hard it was hit and how much "good" meat is recovered. I prefer to do a milder form of tenderising.

I heard that they have made huge advances in the treatment in recent years. My dad died of it in 2010 after he had been undergoing treatment following his enrolment in one of their research programmes. He had bone marrow eradication/modified stem cell treatment which meant 6 weeks isolation in a positive pressure room at King's College hospital. He was diagnosed quite late and only after the prolific over-production of osteoclasts caused his humerus to shatter like an egg shell.
My wife's uncle has it now (ironically, a friend of my dad's but we each became acquainted in totally unrelated circumstances). He is still doing OK several years after diagnosis. I don't know what treatment he is getting but he seems to be doing well on it.
Glad your results are positive - long may it remain so!

I was lucky in that I was diagnosed very early, at which point it was described as 'smouldering' [a reading of 15] and began treatment by tablets. The reading rose slowly over a few years until it reached 66 and the Consultant decided I should be offered a stem-cell transplant [same as @Pete.'s Dad, but I wasn't part of a study and probably benefited from his courage in volunteering
].I had a good remission [side effects aside
] but after c 5 years the cancer was accelerating again and I was offered a 2nd transplant, which I declined owing to the continuing results from the first. Then onto a drug regime which went from thalidomide [bad reaction knocked that on the head] then a derivative Lenalidamide/Dexamethasone combination, and latterly Pomalidamide**/Dex' together.Eventually [after three years] these became less effective [reading increasing and showing an exponential upward trend. So, a switch in regime type was introduced to Daratumamab/Dexa' combo and this is producing the v good results atm.
Apologies for the novel but it's difficult to give a precis to explain fully & clearly.
** That's an oral chemo capsule taken daily for 21 days out of 28 - and it costs £9,000 per 21-day cycle, I was on it for 3 years so do the maths....
The Daratumamab is, at least, cheaper
