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

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...

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

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...
