Labs 3/2/23

Hot off the press, my latest numbers. Not much new. Although, my ratio of Lambda and Kappa finally are at a normal ratio, which it’s been awhile since that happened. Things do look pretty good though, despite the weekly chemo hammerings.

I’m marching towards high dose chemo with stem cell rescue (SCT) at Stanford, with collection at the end of this month. High dose chemo and stem cells infused back around April 10th. I feel pretty grateful that I’ve been referred to them for this procedure.

My last zap of chemo is on March 11. My self-imposed training regiment begins after that. I want to be in high gear physically and mentally. My goal is to restore and revitalize my cells and organs as much as possible prior to collection.

I have a meeting with two Stanford nutritionists tomorrow, I hope I learn something. The last time I had a meeting with a nutritionist, I was teaching them things. “Oh wow! I didn’t know that”, they said. As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m pretty passionate about nutrition.

But, I would like to point out, because sometimes I feel like I’m on a box preaching about nutrition, with no one listening. I feel like most people, if not all, would say Stanford is pretty top notch, as far as health care. They are making a point about how important nutrition is while you go through this procedure.

I’ve known people who have gone through medical procedures, and they’ve said to me that they want to eat really healthy and well, so they recover quickly. I find it funny, how it doesn’t compute with them about eating good food all the time, and they go back to eating garbage food after they’ve healed.

I’ll get back up on my box and say it matters all the time….
