Farewell 2012

Well another year will soon be part of our memory, and when faced with myeloma or any kind of illness- the thought of seeing another year is not to be taken lightly. My book "Another Face - Of Multiple Myeloma will be available on Amazon and my site showcasing my story and my journey with this disease. It has not been easy- but I tell you this experience has made me stronger.

I embrace another year with thanks to God for allowing me to get to this point. I don't know what the future holds, but I know it's in my best interest to make the most of every day. This Christmas was great with just my husband and I and laying comatose in front of the television. I appreciate the time of quiet and rest, which is something I don't get much of and is actually dire in my condition.
So as we fold in the old year and unwrap the new- I wish you all new and old friends
the very best in 2013.

CHEERS TO A HAPPIER- HEALTHIER NEW YEAR!!

I'm reviewing various sources to promote Another Face of Multiple Myeloma , and after extensive research I found there a not many books on patient related experiences, which I find odd, with the exception of popular myeloma blogger Pat Killingsley, I found just two other personal stories from author's penned memoirs on myeloma, and one unfortunately passed away and the other I'm desperately trying to gather contact information. I was in the process of working with a top myeloma foundation to present my book to readers that could possbly relate to my experi...

Pivot

 The last few years have been interesting. Life has been busy, and this has taught me different perspectives on living with multiple myeloma. I wanted to expand on this on another point, but lately, I recalled when I thought my time here on Earth was near. I was deathly ill and it was clear that death was my fate and in this way. I survived that situation but it then expanded my walk further with multiple myeloma.  After an arduous treatment, I met lower numbers and back-to-back 0 spike, and BMX showed  MRD...REMISSION-YES! There has been a lot of pivoting in thinking one way and then having something else happen. It's clear there's no rhyme to reason; However, there's faith but that is even questionable for some folks. I know who questions faith- right? Some do and rightfully so when you don't have control over the situation. It feels okay in the moment to question.  Pivot with multiple myeloma is about rethinking living. Yes, it is a drag to be on treatment, and th...
