Hey! Run, do not walk, over to Margaret’s blog now and read about the work of Jay Bradner, who just may have figured out a way to stop myeloma dead in its tracks. After watching the video below, I started wishing I was a mouse!

I wanted to share this link with my readers, because it’s an important discussion about cure vs control and other aspects of myeloma treatment or management.

Please read it and let me know what you think. I’ve long thought I probably should have held off on treatment for as long as possible, and my post-SCT strategy is to stay treatment free for as long as possible. I expect to withhold treatment until symptoms affect QOL.

Wow. Hospitals have sure changed! A family member was recently hospitalized, and the staff actually encouraged us to stay the night and help with care. It’s a good thing to be able to do, if you have the ability. Sometimes responsibilities at home might get in the way, but being there as much as possible helped my loved one get through the rough patch.
I remember one time when I was really sick and in the hospital, though. I didn’t even want calls or visitors. I just wanted to be left alone. I bet most people prefer the company!
