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.

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

Explaining Multiple Myeloma to Children

We always think about how an adult processes the news of cancer; However, what about a child? A young one at that... During Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month , I will launch a children's book titled " Mama's Blood is Purple and Pink" and discuss how to address the elephant in the room, such as cancer. I've written a story of how the conversation can go without it being scary for a child, when it can be, and is a scary experience. Debuting end of March 2026. Preorders available here We're also looking at Guest speakers to join the conversation here Further details will be shared on my Instagram page or website

Still Kicking and Moving All Around

Hey Everyone, I'm doing well on this end. I'm currently in remission, and my follow-up next week will actually reconfirm that. We will also discuss the next steps. A lot has taken place this year and I'm just moving with the flow of things. I've been doing my share of writing via different formats online, so I'm excited about helping those also going through myeloma or any other blood-related cancer. I know this is still a harsh struggle for so many of my fellow MM's. I know in the past few months a few people I follow on social media have had a time with the prognosis of their disease, and one has recently passed away. When I hear stories like this it reminds me, that no matter remission this is still a blunt reality that never leaves you. I will always be on pins and needles, as so many of us living this new life. However, with that said I'm LIVING MY BEST LIFE and doing what I want to do, with a great bunch of friends and family in my corner. Chec...
