Career Change and Cancer

 
 


I'm pondering so many thoughts of how to live a productive and drama free life.
My life in the fashion industry is indeed not easy, but there is a certain thrill that comes along with the journey.


My company Spitfir Productions is in the midst of making huge moves, which brings point to the subject Career Change and Cancer....





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 diagnosed with cancer that's the monkey wrench in the sceneraio.... how to maintain when quite frankly you're sick. it's a hard decision and not everyone is given options. career change and cancer is a huge subject, especially for a young person effected in their thirties and forties. This is just another subject to bring on the stress, that is if you don't have options to consider.

I take that back....



You're new career change may not be monetary or fullfillment basis, but more about educating yourself to the fullest on the disease and the treatment and cures in the works- that is a career change in iself.

My girl Sherrie above feels the same!

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...

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...
