Sunshine mentioned that it’s like we’re orbiting earth, getting a systems report from Mission Control once every 28 days.

IgG is down for the third cycle in a row, this time down from 1140 to 998 mg/dL, about 12% lower. Similarly, M-spike is down from 1.1 to 1.0 g/dL, about 9% lower. Lambda light chains did go up a bit, and the ratio went down, but I’m not sure what that means, nor is the doctor, so we’re not worrying about it.
