Health update

Published on 21 Comments on Health update

I am definitely on the mend. My counts are practically up to normal; the Bell's palsy is receding; my energy is slowly returning; and my appetite has improved. Everything is getting better.

But the bigger news is that I finally got my first M-protein result. As you'll recall, this is a proxy for the total cancer load in my bloodstream, and right before the CAR-T infusion it had risen to 1.57, the highest it had been in years. As of Monday, a month after the infusion, it clocked in at 0.64.

This is a nice drop, though I'm not sure just how nice it is. Obviously there's still a long way to go before we hit zero, which is the goal.

    Hope you soon get feeling good enough for some star-gazing. It must be a little frustrating missing out on the supernova in M101.

        What's hockey?

        I'll add: I'm not delusional. I give Miami about an 80% chance of winning the series. No NBA playoff team has come back from being down 0-3 to win. I expect this time will be no exception. But a sweep? That would've been awful. This is the Celtics we're talking about, after all. So, I think they didn't so much salvage their season as salvage their off-season. 0-4 would've left a really bad stench over the organization all summer.
