That's right - because my lung capacity has increased (drum roll, please)....by a whopping 9 percent!!!! Up from 57% to 66% - I have two-thirds capacity - woo-hoo!!
Yep, it's big news in these parts. I kept trying to ask Dr. K if these results do indeed mean that Gleevec is working "Come on, doc, just say it! Tell me it's working!" But of course, Dr. K, being a rational, science-minded sort, stopped short of saying that. He did say it's a good sign, but we have to make sure the results hold over time. Whatever! My skin score is the same and the proteinuria is still something to watch out for. Blah blah blah.... My hands are doing their curling under thing again - what? You mean you still have to do the exercises and wear the brace when you're not in physical therapy? OK, so on that one, I've been bad. Matty made me promise (a pinky promise, at that!) to get back to wearing the brace every day. Looks like we'll be battling the hand thing forever, huh?
But did I mention the increase in lung capacity??!!
