Hello all my shipmates,
Please spread the word to all your team shipmates.
Everyday at NOON wherever you are please say a simple prayer.
God, please find a cure for Multiple Myeloma. Amen. Also thank him for your many blessings.
Hopefully, God will hear all our prayers and grant us a cure.
So hard Angela it’s my husband. But I know God is able to do all things.
My sister is doing well and surprisingly ready to go back to work perhaps next month. She will return to her oncologist then.
I’m really struggling with taking 20 mg of Dexamethasone weekly. It’s 50 degrees here and I’m sweating like I’m in the Caribbean…. Can anyone explain why we need to take all the dex in one day?

I pray there are others who have had this success.

Please let me know.

Just do what your body tells you
I’ve been on Revlimid for approximately 4 years with very good results thus far. I was diagnosed with MM 5 years ago and have NOT had a stem cell transplant. I’m just curious if other have also been on Revlimid without a transplant? If so, how long has it been. For those who were on Revlimid, and eventually needed a transplant, how long was the Revlimid effective? It’s my understanding at some point the drug will lose it’s effectiveness, and I will need to explore other available options… read more
Well, that's why people get clonoSEQ tests - its completely definitive as to how deep of a remission you have. Negative at 10 -6 is a very deep and very durable Complete Remission. Its what getting a… read more
