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.

Adding my well wishes and prayers. (((((sandra)))))

My husband's grandma had it but it appeared as a mass on her leg in the muscle. It didn't spread to the blood. She was able to control it (for now) with radiation but they are concerned it will return, unfortunately with this type that is the biggest risk. I do know it is very manageable which is what they told her if the radiation didn't work. I don't have a lot of input on it, wishing your husband the very best!
