You Have To Change Your Thinking When Dealing With Myeloma...





I'm a strong believer of living life to the fullest. Remember when this becomes a wrap (over, finite, the end) you will not do all the lovely things we do now in the living, such as travel, eat that great pot of mac and cheese or what have you. Now with that said, this leaves no room for gluttony, just plain awareness to live life to the fullest.

With the recent passing of Joan Rivers at 81 years of age....
She lived it, and with whatever insecurities she may or may not have dealt with in her own thoughts,
She gave us examples what life is like and how to live it.... and that is full.
We will all have our days of discouragement and depression dealing with our ailments, but when we're done, it's then time to shake off this funk and remember the good and positive of your life, and what you need to continue doing.

At the end of the day there's an unforeseen expiration for all of our lives, with that said it's time to go full force and live. My few posts spoke about a sudden turn in my health in other areas a few months back, that has spiraled possible myeloma treatment. I have 2 weeks to see what my PET MRI tells me. God and I will work it out from there. I can't dread on this new outcome because I still have a lot to do, and a lot that I want to do.
In the next few days I'll start my new show blog for those fashion savvy shoe lovers, as well as continue getting my book "Another Face of Multiple Myeloma" out there to the public, this all takes energy in moderation that is, but when my body can fight no more and the fight has left me.... then can I wither up and go into everlasting sleep, but for now it's time to get it going!

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...

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...
