Cycle 54, Still Stable
At the end of the 54th 28-day cycle on the pomalidomide study, I'm happy with the results once again. It's good stuff.

Cancer markers:

IgG is down slightly, from 1290 to 1210 mg/dL, but the difference may be within the measurement accuracy of the test. M-spike is unchanged at 1.1 g/dL. Lambda and kappa light chains did their usual dance, this time lambda chains are up slightly, but I doubt it means anything.

Every other blood marker of any significance was within the reference range, even the red blood cell count. I feel very good, too.

Anniversary:

Sunshine and I have recently begun the 50th year of our marriage. We're having a lot of fun running marathons in each of the 50 states, but 49 years of marriage is far more significant and satisfying.
