&#%@$@ - Snapple Pop

Well this year started off quite interesting. The first two weeks in were grand, but the 3rd week got beyond bizarre. I had two issues with two co-workers who quite bluntly spoke to me in a way I haven't gotten quite over. However, with this said God is sooooooooooooooooooo good!
This is the year of change I feel it in my bones. This is a year of a clean bill of health and for those struggling with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, understand and know and believe that better things are in store.

My book Another Face will be available in a matter of weeks. I'm proud of this work yet anxious
how my party of loved ones who didn't know- will now be enlightened. Hum, this should be interesting- but good. The more people educated on myeloma the better.

Hope you like my little girl Liz above, she has a sector of friends just like her that you may see time to time, just to keep the momentum of my humor and outlook of this pest MM :)

As for the two co-workers I mentioned- well let's say they see a difference in my current demeanor - hum, and may have an inkling not to mess with me- as they indeed hit an un-necessary chord!
It's one thing dealing with multiple myeloma that pesters me everyday- it's another to have to tolerate other elements that get me aggravated, and have my cells in a bunch- so you know where these folks can go.

I hope to make more frequent entries as there's been a lot going on and thank God nothing
out of the ordinary health wise. I'm the founder a lung cancer foundation which you'll hear more about that every now and then here. We have a 1 year function to gear up for, so
I'm running around and taking MM with me.

Won't stop- Can't stop!!

P.S
I have my follow-up lab next week- let's pray there's no issues....

Explaining Multiple Myeloma to Children

  We always think about how an adult processes the news of cancer; However, what about a child? A young one at that... During Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month , I will launch a children's book titled " Mama's Blood is Purple and Pink"  and discuss how to address the elephant in the room, such as cancer. I've written a story of how the conversation can go without it being scary for a child, when it can be, and is a scary experience. Debuting end of March 2026. Preorders available here We're also looking at Guest speakers to join the conversation here Further details will be shared on my Instagram page or website

Plugging Multiple Myeloma

I had a wonderful conversation with a new friend on the trials of myeloma, and it was interesting that we’ve both experienced to some degree the nonchalant reactions when faced with our disease. The saying to walk a mile in one's own moccasins could never be far from the truth, sometimes you get the feeling that no one cares or your cause and or experience is not of interest...., or better yet taken seriously.... 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...

Childrens Book on Multiple Myeloma

 I've found I can talk with an adult all day about life with a multiple myeloma diagnosis, some get it, some are still clueless...it is what it is. Multiple Myeloma is relatable for those who are on their own journey, or those who have had a family or friend who was taken from them because of it.  The conversation around cancer with young children holds a certain complexity. The question arises, should you say anything about it with small children as opposed to older children? How do you start the conversation? Is it necessary to be so candid with subtlety? After being diagnosed myself at an early age, and found myself in need of my own comfort in bringing on this conversation.   Follow my journey as I start promoting my new book...title to be debuted at a later time on my social media page -Instagram @myelomachick . Whether having small children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews...How have you shared your story with multiple myeloma? Y
