I just got back from Oncologist. I have been MUCH more careful to follow restricted ketogenic diet since my numbers went up in November, and my kappa free light chains came back down almost to normal! They were down to 20.4mg/L (from somewhere around 23-24 on Nov 10)
This has confirmed to me that I need to be very careful of my diet. I wasn’t eating high carb in October and November, but I was being careless. After the numbers went up, I started taking my diet much more seriously. Now I try to have 20 g carbs, 60 g protein and about 120 g fat per day. I am also measuring my blood glucose more regularly during the day and checking ketones nearly every night. I have had my ketones as high as 3.4 and seldom below 1.0
So, if anyone is reading this and willing to put out the effort, My experience confirms that Dr Thomas Seyfried is onto something (Cancer IS a Metabolic Disease – and the multiple myeloma cells are weakened by a restrictive ketogenic diet). I am still taking Revlimid – but only taking it once a week. I was taking it every other day with no time off before I started having such good results from this diet.
And since I am not taking as much Revlimid, my WBC is up to about 2.94 – which is better than it was.
