This $#@SH Aint Gonna Work

Well fellow MM’s I’m in my 5^th week of treatment. The time has come to proceed onward, as this has caused some havoc to my body.

My treatment includes:

-Dexamethesone

-Revlimid

-Velcade

The affect of these drugs are unexplainable!

My first reaction was like what the hell did I get myself into... like are my numbers really that

bad!!Has my situation really called for me to go down this road?

I'm sure many have had it worst but for an relatively healthy woman (once I suppose) and whose

not been one to run to a lot of meds if need not, this is a huge transition to my lifestyle.

I guess I'm happy to still have a lifestyle but my time has been interesting with this.

I have 3 more years of this. I don't know how this is going to work but this is going to be a miserable journey! I know my lord will not let me down even though the rock here feels like giving in and punching something in the midst.

I pray the New Year 2015 is better than the prior. I almost died this summer from other health ailments, and then this myeloma #%# this has just not been the best year, but with that said I’ve traveled to some great places this year and have taken part of some terrific activities. May the New Year be better for you all.

I’m offering a Christmas Stocking Stuffer of my book AnotherFace of Multiple Myeloma and The ins and outs of the fashion industry from afashion insider for $10.00.

Why does this still matter? It matters because I know my experiences can benefit someone elses journey in some or another going through the same trials, not to mention a 101 view of what it’s really like working in the fashion industry. At the end of the day I’ve been blessed.

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...

My Story is Your Story.... Or Is it?

Okay, it's clear those with mm have experienced different journeys than others, whether doctor care, medicine faux paus, infections, lesions, renal issues, anemia, Thrombosis, or no signs of lingering harsh effects at all. My pain in the $#^ with myeloma as of this Tuesday April 23 is just the slight uncomfortable discomfort ever so lightly in the lower chest area, like someone gave me a hard push in the chest, or the slight pain at the lower back, where the lesion is being watched once a year with hopes it doesn't act up and calling for treatment. My only treatment thus far has been radiation at the chest sternum, and me hoping my skin turns back to normal, well 2 1/2 years in, I've realized this isn't going to happen! Radiation burn is just that a horrible burn! Health coverage - no issues yet, but than again I'm not on medicine so not sure of the bull that comes with having to be medicated for a specific amount of time. Bone marrow transplan...
