Hey Deborah. Well, in reference to the WFPBD idea - since I am alone, I have chosen to subscribe to a meal plan - I rotate between Purple Carrot, Factor 75 and a new one that I am favoring is Sprinly. They all run about the same amount of money = $90 to $110 for 6 prepared, fresh meals. Focus on Vegan vs Vegetarian as the vegetarian will have dairy. I have avocado or a nut butter with sugar free fruit spread on Ezekiel bread or English muffins with coffee and non-dairy Nut Pods for my daily breakfast. Avoiding sugar is important too. So I get a weekly shipment and depending on how much you like to eat, there is a great deal of food there. I'll look into the Curcumin C3 Complex by Sabinsa Corp too. I hadn't gone there yet.

BTW, insurance is paying for the lab tests and Provider visits, but the co-pay parts are adding up. Wish the study was better funded. Hotels, flights, Ubers, food and insurance co-pays are definitely proving to be costly.

Great news about the lesser plasma cells level from Dr. Gertz at Mayo! Wish everything was standardized. I went for the three month check up with my local NC hematologist and my levels have remained stable. I am a IgA Kappa MGUS at this juncture. Praying for no progression. Keeping stress down. Walking, biking and yoga are my things to be physically active. Reducing inflammation is key.

Thanks for your informative response.

Best wishes to everyone.
