I had a consultation with my regular oncologist today. I got good news.
The autologous transplant seems to have done some good! My M-spike is down to 0.4 g/dL. That's as low as it's ever been, and he expects it to drop another tenth to 0.3 g/dL.
What does that mean? It means my disease has retreated. It hasn't surrendered yet, but we're beating it down. We'll do a complete set of tests again at ~80 days. I'm at day 47 now.
As far as the allogeneic transplant goes, we continue to follow up with the facility and we're staying informed. Limbo shouldn't be done in silence.

Andre - that is really good news! YOU are the one to be congratulated! I didn't even realise the spike could go that low (having been told that 1.5 and below was "in the normal range"! Fantastic!
