Women Dealing With Cancer Chat Tour

LET'S CHAT!

I wanted to start a health forum tour where women specifically can relate to questions and or plain discussions about how we deal with cancer. This is not to leave the men out, as we'll do this again throughout the year so men and women can join in.

Let's face it....
We all deal with cancer in different ways, some of us get heavily involved in work, others cope with progression of their cancer, and others take the situation as it comes.
One thing I think many women can relate to and that is cancer sucks. Here are but a few that relate to women in a special and personal way:
-Appearance
-Dealing with Stress
-Coping with family duties (Children, Chores, Work, etc.,)
-Mentality
-Holding our emotions
-Grasping the reality of the disease

These are some things I would like to address during the first of Myeloma Health Forum Series
Women Dealing With Cancer
This group is open to anyone other than myeloma patients and or caregivers.

The chat begins this Friday August 16 with two time slots 6:00 pm (1 hour) and 9:00 pm (1 hour)
If you would like to take part email myelomatour@gmail.com for further details to assign you to scheduled chat. Please note deadline for signing up will be Wednesday at 9:00pm
Hope to see you at either forum

Best

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...

Out of Commision

Hello Fellow Readers, Excuse the short absence. I was ill with some kind of strange viral infection- that no one knows for sure what it was..... This was one time I knew for sure MM was about to be the death of me! What started off as a quick turn sore throat to losing my voice in 1 day, to an ear infection the next day, to horrendous back spasms- i cannot tell you how much pain i was in. Now this may not have had anything to do with MM, but the back spasm and me crawling and dropping to the floor due to the pain.... I cannot tell you how crazy the experience has been. My concern was even more intense with the back spasms, as it was at my lower spine, where I already have small indications of lesions, so you can imagine how scary this was. I recovered from this, but hope there was no damage done, but my practioner assured me if there was fractions, I would not be about to bend and do some of the tests he had me do. I'll need to share this experience with my oncologist in th...

Healthy Snacks-2014... Crunch Appeal

Okay, so you all know I'm trying to limit my sugar and chicken intake. I'm very mindful of sugar and when enough is enough, so I still have a way to go. I came upon a recipe some years ago when diagnosed with myeloma and reading on the benefits of adding flax seed to diet. Flax seed is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, which helps in reducing bone lost, stabilizing blood sugar, promoting weight loss, as well as increasing your immune system. I have to admit I'm a snacker and it's something about getting the munchies just when it's time to call it a night that the snack attack occurs. I like snacks that crunch... I don't know maybe it's a mental thing or something. Today, we're snowed in and I need a break from my business at Spitfir, so I've played around for tonight's snack when "The Walking Dead" series comes on:) Shall we begin?? Let's rock..... ...
