Full genetic and PET testing results in.

Lowest risk type, no bone damage, minimal plasma mutation… to the point where the clinical team debated whether I need immediate treatment or not. They are going to start straight away but it will be incremental and tailored to my low incidence of disease.

It’s still bad news, but as positive as it’s possible within that framework.

Fuck. I feel like I can breathe again
That is as good as news as can be hoped for given - Hopefully your treatment isn't an ass kicker but man, that's a relief

Three weeks into a relatively light chemo treatment and I’ve lost my sense of taste. My only side effect yet oddly absolutely horrendous. Everything tastes like discount store ketchup.

Since I have “no disease” and am being treated as a preventative measure this is mentally harder to deal with than the actual non illness at the moment.

So, yeah fuck cancer.

Oh man. Sympathies and best wishes for your treatment, and for this side effect to be brief.

Thanks all. It’s weird how impactful this is considering the wider “situation”. Good to hear it’s temporary.

MRD Negative testing for T-Cell Leukemia is relatively new so we are having to wait 10 business days on pins and needles for my spouse’s bone marrow biopsy results from Thursday :( :( :(
