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
Yolanda

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.....                     ...
