The doctor says Jim's numbers look good. He will need to continue to have follow-ups for the next year. He will have weekly follow-ups for the next month, then they should taper off to once a month. They will re-stage his myeloma at 60 days to determine how well he responded to his treatment. There is no cure for myeloma, but Jim should be able to maintain for many years.
We start packing. It is hard to believe the amount of paper, piles of it, we have received from the SCCA; bloodwork, instructions, pamphlets, books on myeloma, books on cancer in general, what to eat, what not to eat, etc. We also had to purchase pots, pans, dishes and silverware. I can't believe we have amassed so much stuff in the last 6 weeks! Thank goodness we have two vehicles to move it all in.
Jim says goodbye to the night manager, Jay. He has been a big help to us while we have been here. Always has a smile, is very jovial, and quick to lend a hand when needed. Jay says he will miss our dog.
Exhausted, time for bed.
