Hello everyone, been a long time since I have done any writing. Need to apologize for that, on numerous occasions got heck from people why I was not writting on the blog. Just really never new what to wirte about. Well in the last 5 months lots has changed. Had some ups and downs, with more ups with things going in the right direction. Had gotten sick a couple of times more recently with a cold but am clear of that now. Everyone that I run across mentions how good I look. I have my normal color back to me and have been feeling pretty good lately. Energy levels are coming back as well is my stength. Have been eating ok and have no problem eating whatever I want. For the last 3 weeks have been working out wtih a personal trainer. Sunlife whom my long term disability is through thought it would be a good idea that I starting doing some conditioning and strength training with the presumption that I might be returning back to work in January. Trainer must be doing her job, some days I am kinda sore but it is for the better. Only real set back will be my back. Gives me some greif at times but as long as do propper lifting and watch what I do will be ok. Have to think that in time back will stregthen up and shouldn't be a concern.
Well time to get to nitty gritty. Met with my oncologist on Fri.11. For lack of a better of term got excellent news, I am in 100% remission. My doctor stated that looking at the blood panel results that you would never know I was fighting Mulitple Myeloma this past year because my results were so clean. Words cannot explain the emotions I felt, was so happy wanted to cry. Probably should have, likely would have been good for me. KIm and kids pretty estatic over my new found health. Just won my lottery.
So not sure how long I will be in remission, but at least now I know what I will be looking for. As for follow-up I need to perform blood and a urnine test every 3 months. FRom the results I know what to look for, but likely my body will tell me too. As work goes likely starting back Jan.4 on a gradual return. For the first 6 weeks will be working Mon-FRi at 2 week intervals of 4hrs/day, 6hrs/day, and 8hrs/day. The last 2 weeks would be working 4 days at 12hr/day. BY march should be off and running if everything goes well.
Going to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I know that my Christmas will mean alot more. Once again want to thank everyone for for all the support, thoughts, and prayers.
Everyone take care, I will!!!
