Similarities in Cancers....

Saturday, my husband and I had an eye appointment- long overdue for 4 years now.
I've been getting some stellar headaches and with Myeloma in the midst you try and
stir away from getting paranoid- but ya never know...

All went well with the multiple blinks and slight chuckles as the doctor and nurse made us feel
so comfortable. I'm sure most of you can relate when filling out your health history for new doctors who tend to be introduced in your world, well even though this was a eye appointment
I felt and usually now feel compelled to let all health care people know that I'm not your typical
patient and a girl has some issues- unfortunately.

Well upon giving the spelling of myeloma- the nurse so nonchalantly stated she's a 10 year cancer survivor of breast cancer. Have you noticed as I, that even not by chance meeting people with cancer nowadays is a norm. Someone out there is going through the same or similar trials we're all facing this time of our life. Well this lovely lady was very calm and I suppose felt the worst was behind her for now. We spoke briefly about needles and one of her procedures that consisted of a mammogram
machine and a tube inserted in her breast.... Ouch!!
It's amazing how any of us get through what we have to do to figure cancer out.

One thing I can say is cancer brings us together in one form or another- and the will to survive by all means necessary could never be as true than when breaking down the similarities.

                                                             Be strong my fellow mm family!
                                                         We will get through this by all means!

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

Mud Girl Obstacle 2023

 This was my first race that was a thrill to take part in. Multiple Myeloma has been a crutch that I've been able to keep at the back end of my shoulder. It is essential to keep living and doing which I tend to do at the 10th degree. Despite the labels, the Mudrun race was a new thing to do and crush. I live by breaking the rules and breaking those assumptions that life stalls. We do know life is short and I find it my kryptonite to not allow the powers that be which sometimes are out of my control to limit what I want to do; perhaps Im fortunate in being able to do things with some limits of course with a different mindset than most.  Crushing this feat of a 3-mile race with 17 obstacles in the mud, and making it through my fear of heights has now allowed me to consider other bucket list possibilities within reason to take a stab at. Cheers to living your best, even when the "You" has been tested at all degrees. Courtesy: Spitfir Production Courtesy: Spitfir Production
