I've been in the hospital and offline for a few days. Sunday I started having trouble breathing. My friend Jack was over picking up a prescription for me so he took me to the emergency room. They couldn't figure out what it was immediately so they admitted me to the hospital and gave me oxygen, which helped a lot.
Most everything got ruled out by a chest x-ray and blood culture. The next possibility was an pulmonary embolism so they scheduled a CT scan to check it out. Everything on the CT scan showed negative for an embolism. Since they couldn't find a cause and I'm feeling very good today, they decided to send me home with a nebulizer and to come back in if it starts back up and the inhaler doesn't help.
The CT scan is where the good news comes in. The size of my lymph nodes and the myeloma lesions have been "significantly decreased". I don't have any numbers for comparison but it seems my current treatment is working very well.
