18/05/21 Good news - or at least I hope so!

 I've got the result from my COVID antibody test:














(Click the image for an enlarged version)

I'm trying - without success so far - to find out what that number of 0.8 U/ml (International Standard Units per millilitre) means, apart from being the threshold between negative and positive. And it doesn't say how far above that threshold I am. But (with due caution about false positives) I know I haven't had COVID so any spike protein antibodies in my blood can only have come as a response to the two doses of Pfizer vaccine. It doesn't mean I'm about to throw out all my face masks and bottles of hand sanitiser, but it does give me a huge boost in confidence about going back to "normality" (Indian variant permitting!)

What this result means (assuming it can be taken at face value) is that my myeloma-damaged immune system isn't too badly damaged - still capable of generating a response to an antigen it hasn't seen before. And that is very good to know - I've been feeling positively euphoric since the result arrived, as I had been telling myself to get ready to get a negative .
