‘Technically cured’ of Multiple Myeloma

2 Comments

I was due for a Bone Marrow Test and it was more than 6 months since I got the last one done. Was busy with several activities  and the test got delayed by one month.When I called my Oncologist for an appointment , he suggested that I also get a General Health Check up done along with the Bone Marrow Test. Been a while since I went for a Health check up.
The package consisted of Cardiac tests, ultra sound of the abdomen, Chem 20 , Urine , Thyroid , Lipid profile ,Bone Mass Density ,  Hepatitis B and C etc

The tests along with the Bone Marrow Test were done last week and the results were out today.

Went directly to the Hospital after work. My Oncologist gave an appointment at 4.30pm. Hubby was already at the Hospital and had picked up all the reports. I quickly opened the Bone Marrow Test report and scanned through the report looking for something like ‘M- spike not seen’ or ‘M-Spike negative’ , but I see ‘Impression:Consistent with Normal marrow’. I deduce that all is Normal and we rush to meet my Oncologist , as it was 4.35pm. I quickly thanked the Almighty.

My Oncologist goes through all the reports and finally says ‘ Meet me after One year’ .

I stare at him as if I wanted him to repeat those precious words again. He then says ‘Its been 5 years since you had the SCT, so Technically you are cured’ .

Woww , these were the words that I was longing to hear.

All the other Reports too were normal except for Osteopoenia.

On our way back hubby was showing me some remedies for Osteopoenia and Strength training is one of them.

Time to do something about this.

Today is one of the most happiest days in my life 🙂

I also sent pics of the Reports to my Ayurvedic Doctor, who was also very eager to know the results. He is very happy too. I would not be in this condition without his medication and treatment.

Thanks to Mother Nature for healing me through Ayurveda.

Feel like sharing my happiness with all my well wishers 🙂

Incidentally, today I also received a Promotion/Elevation at work. It was tough as only 30% of the eligible candidates got selected. The selection is based on the score in the appraisals and the performance in the Interview.

So glad I made it 🙂 .

I need to watch out and not get too stressed at work.Got to continue to follow a healthy diet too , along with exercise.

Love you Zindagi…..
