SPEP Test Results 11/15/07

As revealed by the latest Serum Protein Electrophoresis test, my m-spike continues to decline. It went from .54 gm/dl last month to .34 gm/dl this month which is a little less than a 50% decline which is good. I am hoping this number continues to decline. At this point, I am having sort of a race between the rate of decline and the buildup of drug toxicity.

My Oncologist, Dr. Alnas of the Baptist Cancer Center let me split the dose of Decadron in an effort to smooth out the steroid roller coaster. It still is no walk in the park but it is somewhat easier to deal with. It is impossible to know if a single dose per week would speed up the m-spike decline but the split dose doesn't seem to have stopped progress.

Thanks for stopping by.
