Yesterday I saw the Nurse Practitioner assigned to me. She liaise between me and my oncologist when the latter is busy or out of town.
K, the nurse, told me that my kappa-lambda ratio, my cancer count, is not budging. It has not gone up, but it has not gone down either. Therefore I cannot have the stem cell transplant as planned, and my weekly chemo dose will be increased, my guess will be for another couple of months.
I was hoping that the stem cell transplant will help me get off drugs for some time, but it looks like I have to have more of these drugs first. Talk about disappointed hopes!
It is good that I have found this quote a few weeks back:
"God never leads His children otherwise than they would choose to be led, if they could see the end from the beginning and discern the glory of the purpose which they are fulfilling as co-workers with Him." MH 479
And I just have to write this again:
"In the future life the mysteries that here have annoyed and disappointed us will be made plain. We shall see that our seemingly unanswered prayers and disappointed hopes have been among our greatest blessings." MH 475
Trusting that this is my greatest blessing yet!
