Ighv mutated

I found out last week that I am IGHV mutated. (Apparently that’s a good thing)

It means I respond really well to the chemo.

I was also told by my specialist that next month she wants another CT scan & another bone marrow biopsy. She said if they come back with good results then we might stop a three treatments instead of six!!!!!

YAY!!! I was pumped.

It makes the whole s**t process of chemo worthwhile when you get that kind of result.

Always accept the good results, and put the bad ones aside as questionable. :)

Pound for pound, hope is worth more than fear!

best of luck,
