The Chemo Fog is Lifting

We had another free light test on 26 May. The number increase from 109 to 127 mg/l in two weeks. Rebecca has been getting back to some normalcy since not having any chemo or Dex in a few weeks. She is back on the computer and making big “to do lists” for me. Her normalcy is not good since she still has a lot of back pain and little mobility. But to not be in the chemo fog and the bowel function returning in the direction of normal makes a big difference.


We have another doctors appointment this Thursday. Also another free light test. We normally do these every month but the doctor has increased the frequency of these. I guess because they are increasing. She is suppose to start on Rev next week if the blood counts are good this Thursday.

It would be interesting to see what her free light chain numbers would do if she stayed off chemo for a while longer. If they would hover at a number below a 1000 mg/l and she didn’t have any complications with the effects of the higher level of myeloma it might be better to stay off the chemo for a while. But then there is the theory that the more you let the cancer grow the harder it may be to knock it back down with treatment.
