Zero

We went to Emory last week for Jimmy to have routine tests, to make sure his numbers were stable, and that the cancer wasn't showing any signs of trying to come back. It takes a week or so to get the results. We weren't overly anxious, because Jimmy looks and feels so good.

Dr. Lonial called on my cell phone this afternoon, and he sounded excited: Jimmy's paraprotein level was ZERO this time. Zero. Nada. Zilch. A month ago it was .16, which is only a trace, and technically was considered remission, but zero is a LOT better than a trace.
