My heart is singing right now! I am so happy for you! Work hard...get a few vacation days stored up and come visit me soon! I have coffee!!!!!

Kathleen
Thanks, Kathleen. Right now, the job is part time, so I don't get vacation days. But that also means I can pretty much take time off whenever I can afford it. Soooooo............... we may take you up on that coffee. Now, I have more good news. I just got home from seeing my oncologist. I have not received (or needed) a chemotherapy infusion since February. In the past 6 months, there has been a 75% reduction in the serum paraprotein level, which means I am now in partial remission! The effects of the myeloma - loss of bone density, damage to kidneys, bone pain, etc. - will not go away, but they are not getting any worse. This is probably the best news I could have hoped for, and it looks like you good folks may be stuck with me for quite some time yet.  Awesome news. We should throw a party |

Rich Now, I have more good news. I just got home from seeing my oncologist. I have not received (or needed) a chemotherapy infusion since February.

This is probably the best news I could have hoped for, and it looks like you good folks may be stuck with me for quite some time yet. Ummm. Rich..I'm afraid it's YOU who are stuck with US!!!!!!!!!!  Great news bud!!!! Sooooo...come to Nashville! Bruce |
