Thank you, Ginger! I'm glad my team made the decision to hold off, I just want this round 2 regimen to work and I was upset to see those light chain numbers going up. Damnation! I know with the moving parts (as @auntieoakley describes them) that it's probably not worth losing my mind over just yet, but I have trouble feeling optimistic about it since those numbers have only gone down since my first week of round 1 chemo back in June.

Interestingly, one of my students' husband was a major leader in the pharmaceuticals we're all benefiting from. (Now he's the chair of the Smithsonian National Board!) I always run my drug regimens by him and he called my latest one "state of the art" and, after it, I'd be "good to go." I love his vibe!! Anyway, it's thanksgiving and he's high up on my list!

Best,
Meg
