Dr. Kane called and said that normal IGG levels are 700-1600. When Ralph was first tested, his count was 5500. The results, this week, are 1200. THIS MEANS THAT HE IS RESPONDING WELL TO CHEMO! His skeleton survey is stable; they expect to still see lesions. The important thing is IGG levels. Dr. Kane suspects that Dr. Raptos will transplant Ralph without another round of chemo.
This site is very similar to what UPMC sent us for preparing for Ralph's recovery after the stem-cell transplant...no set date.
