From Jordans blog:
The Very Best Christmas Present Ever
Posted by Robert Jordan on December 22nd, 2006 in the Robert Jordan's Blog category
This is a very short post, I’m afraid. I know it’s been awhile since I posted last, but various things kept getting in the way. Still, here goes, with the best Christmas present I’ve ever received. Something I had to share without any delay.
As you all no doubt know by now, the marker for amyloids is something called Lambda Light Chains, which are found in the blood. The normal range is between 1 and 3. Five months ago, I was at 75. Four months ago, that had gone up to 96. The higher the LLC number, the worse for you. So I wasn’t doing so hot.
This morning the Mayo gave me my most recent LLC number. 3.14!!!! No, that isn’t a typo. 3.14!!! I’m on the brink of normal. Something I never thought I’d say about myself in any regard, frankly. I’ve got Liston the ropes, guys, and I really believe that your prayers and well-wishes have helped put him there. Now I just have to put him on the canvas. This isn’t a cure, and I’m not even sure whether it will count as remission, but it means I’m still on my feet and will be for a while yet. 3.14! Hot damn!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everybody.
I’ll talk to you again after the 1st.

So what does this mean. It means he may not die. It may just be that his cancer will go into remission and we may enjoy many more WoT books, plus his next series, Infinty of Heaven! :party:
