Get your biscuits in the oven....

Well I know a little more now than before.
1. The echo cardiogram came in with an ejection fraction in the range of 35-40%--a little bit better than what the tech shared with me earlier. More is better!
2. My good sleeping continues and I feel somewhat less fatigued--good signs.
3. A little problematically, my weight continues to fall; I can still feel the torsemide working every afternoon. (One urinates a lot.) My weight is now about 205, so the torsemide is responsible in part for at least a 10-12 lb weight loss. However, it appears to be at the nadir as it has stabilized for several days in a row.
4. It is probably a very bad sign that my appetite is poor. Jan is making excellent dishes and I just cannot eat very much of them. However, that just may mean that I am now ingesting sensible amounts of food, eg, 3-4 oz meat portions. But it has never been this way before except when I was doing chemotherapy back in 2011-2012.
5.I had a raised amount of gamma globulin in my last blood test which my doc had repeated to ensure its validity. Gamma globulin increases as part of the immune function which is the body's response to fight a virus, bacterium or fungus. It should not be raised continuously. Unfortunately, it is also associated with the presence of cancer particularly when it remains raised. Multiple myelomas, leukemias, lymphomas are mentioned.
6. Hence, next up is a consult with the Gossner Cancer Center and one of the nurse practioners there. (They now have two oncologists.) They want two more urinalyses that have specific names which I have forgotten since I was doing business elsewhere when the Center called. That was yesterday. I putzed around and never got to the lab today and they won'r reopen until Tuesday. I don't know whether these are on the spot or whether I take them home.
All of the foregoing suggests my consult will be late next week when they have the lab data.
I smell a bone marrow biopsy in my future. Been there, done that. Not fun, but doable.
7.The possibility of a new or recurring old cancer has lurked in the mirror for nearly 10 yrs now. 
I will try to remain positive.
