Another Face..... Of Multiple Myeloma

Okay, it's clear those with mm have experienced different journeys than others, whether doctor care, medicine faux paus, infections, lesions, renal issues, anemia, Thrombosis, or no signs of  lingering harsh effects at all. My pain in the $#^ with myeloma as of this Tuesday April 23 is just the slight uncomfortable discomfort ever so lightly in the lower chest area, like someone gave me a hard push in the chest, or the slight pain at the lower back, where the lesion is being watched once a year with hopes it doesn't act up and calling for treatment. My only treatment thus far has been radiation at the chest sternum, and me hoping my skin turns back to normal, well 2 1/2 years in, I've realized this isn't going to happen!

How does one make a huge career move all while maintaining health coverage and days built up of the years as employed. When a working professional is diagnosed with an incurable illness, not only is survival to be thought on, but how to survive if employment is not an option. I'm blessed, blessed, blessed, where I can still be heavily active; However I met many who are not fortunate and have literally stopped working because they don't have the energy,or in too much pain to be bothered. Having a career in general is not an easy task especially for many trying to decipher what they want to do and how to go about it. When diagnos...
