This afternoon there was a meeting of people with Waldenstrom's M at the Bryn Mawr Hospital and I went. There were about 20 people including spouses. All of us seemed to be experiencing different sets of symptoms, and there was quite a variety of treatments among us. The most common complaint seemed to be numbness in the hands and feet - but that is related to high IgM values, which is not something I have to deal with. Several of the people had been diagnosed 15-20 years ago and are still going strong. That was nice to see, and hear, although anybody who kicked the bucket early wasn't there to tell us about it, obviously. Still...

I did have my third round of chemotherapy on Friday. As before, it gave me the hiccups on Saturday, but otherwise uneventful. Of course they did the blood tests again, and the good news is that the values have begun to trend back up, toward normal ranges. Gotta hope that continues.
