In response to the question regarding testing for Amyloidosis, I can only give my very uneducated and inexperienced response. Right off I would say that it is not a necessary routine test when one has Myeloma. What I have read of it, it can be a secondary complication of Myeloma. I don’t know how common [...]

It’s Memorial Day Monday, so things are low key around the hospital. I’ve had 3 separate visits from doctors this morning, but still no real answers. They are leaning toward it not being cancer (Myeloma) but rather dead nerves in my T8. This is probably delayed reaction from the radiation therapy on the tumor I [...]

Doctor confirmed I’m healing fine. He’s still a bit perplexed by all my numbness. I am, too. I do believe there’s something pinching somewhere that is causing me all this pain and discomfort. It’s going to take time and patience to see how much of this will go away. Still, it’s difficult to sit back [...]

That familiar pain is back, but this time in my left shoulder. When I first got sick my right shoulder had this excruciating pain and within a few days I couldn’t move my arm. There was a puffiness about it, sort of spongey. The Thalidomide killed off the plasmacytoma’s I guess, as I was able to move my [...]

I’m going to try something a bit new. I may have mentioned that I was considering transferring to Blogspot in an earlier post. I’m pretty sure I did. Well, I’m going to try and keep two blogs. Lord knows I have the time.
My intention for THIS blog was to be more factual and not get [...]

My other post was so long, I wanted to put this thought in another post because I think it’s significant.
It’s constantly on my mind why I’m such a wimp and not feeling as well as other MMrs seem to feel. My IGG serum is in the normal range, my m-spike is way low, X-rays and [...]

Hoorah! It’s overrrr! I can eat, drink, and be merry!
As usual, my faithful sister Joy took me to do the dirty deed. It was a good excuse to get together as she took me to all my initial doctor visits and treatments. I get emotional when I’m alone and think of these times with her. [...]
