Comin' On Up

Carla's blood test results looked GREAT today. She had a lot of bone pain last night so she didn't get much sleep.  The growth factor shots causes so much bone growth that it hurts.  She especially notices this in her spine. 

We have more blood tests tomorrow and then an appointment with Barlogie at 11:30.  We have learned to try for morning appointments with him.  His appointments are scheduled as late as 4:00 but are often backed up.  I heard that one night this week he didn't finish his appointments until 9:30 p.m.  Most of the other doctors in the Myeloma Institute are young and he ends up seeing the bulk of the patients.  The number of patents per week has increased since he presented his research results last year.

I think Carla will be released to go home in the not too distant future!
