I’ve been getting a bit edgy recently, because of the constant delays to Hospital admission …
… and the need to arrange, cancel, and re-arrange transport.
I’ve also been having concerns/worries/fears that the insidious Myeloma (very-creepy-bad-thing) might start quietly, sinisterly and sneekily reappearing.
SO … I decided to make a total pain of myself and phone the Hospital again!
Alice answered, and I immediately apologised profusely for being a pain, by phoning yet again.
Immediately Alice said firmly “Your Not!”
And so I explained my Myeloma fears, and asked if I could have some results from my recent (10 bottle) blood test.
“I’d really like to know the results for my ‘Para Proteins’ and ‘Light Chains’, please” I explained.
These indicate the presence of the very-creepy-bad-thing.
Alice said that she’d check.
After a lot of paper rustling, she came back with …
Your paraproteins must have been undetectable – they’re not mentioned, and your Light Chains are perfect at 7.
My eyes filled with tears of relief 🥲
I said “In that case Alice, I really don’t mind if my transplant is delayed until next March!” 😊
Alice said that they really didn’t want to wait that long, and that she would arrange another blood test next week for me, locally.
I just thought ‘Bless You Alice!’ 😇
How utterly fantastic are those PP and LC results!!! Extremely clever, lovely and beautious people sorting you out Xxx
Absolutely xx
So glad you called, asked and had that news, rather than sit and wonder ❤️
Me too! xx
