Multiple Myeloma

[sandra]

I don't want to hijack Silver's thread but as I mentioned, that's what is going on with me. My hubby was diagnosed with this form of blood cancer.

There so many people here that if you are anyone you know has had this, I'm interested in hearing your experiences. Thank you so much for the kind words.

We went to the beach recently to relax and planned on taking our bikes but in the end he didn't know if he would be able to ride so we decided it was too much work to haul them.

On another note, I just recently sold one bike. Since I'm not able to ride nearly as much, I decided to narrow them down. Selling sure is hard. I would have bought it back from them the next day if I could have.

I miss this place and hope everyone is doing well.

I'm sorry to hear that your hubby has such a scary disease. i know nothing about it but I wanted to let you know that I care.

Sandra! Haven't heard from you in ages. So sorry about what you are going through. I will keep you in my prayers.

sandra,

hang in there, I know nothing about that type of cancer, but I have found wonderful and positive support here, especially when I need to vent. I hope that you can do the same, we are all here to help. In the meantime, I will add you to my "spinning my wheels prayer wheel" and will occasionally stomp and sing some positive energy your way.

I know a lot about the drugs for it, but can't speak to how it feels for the person. A good friend's step mother has it and they've done a fundraising walk for the MM research foundation for years. I know she's been doing well on treatment for quite a long time, but I don't know the step mother very well, so can't really even tell you much about what all she's going through.

I will add my thoughts, prayers and well wishes though.

I have a good friend who was diagnosed with it a few years ago. She went through a successful autologous stem cell transplant, I guess two years ago now, and has been in remission since then. My understanding is that it is seen as more manageable a disease than it used to be. I wish both of you the very best.
