    I have multiple myeloma that was detected while I was in cardio rehab after open heart surgery and triple bypass surgery. I have been in treatment for 5 years for the Multiple Myeloma, i am also getting ready for skin cancer treatment, I guess that I brought home unwanted souvenirs from three years in Vietnam. Not only do I have a great Oncologist and nurses taking care of my wife and Myself I have many people praying for me, and I truly believe Prayer is a great medicine.

    My husband died March 4, 2020. He was 3 days shy of 80. He started having complications that interrupted his chemo cycles. I don’t think they were related to his multiple myeloma. He had two ERCP procedures a stent was placed and then he had his gallbladder taken out. He got an infection. There were the occasional times he could not take chemo because of his liver numbers. He never gave up hope and his attitude was always good.

    The Myeloma went into deep remission after my first round of Chemo.
    My kidneys also needed help as my creatinine levels had reached 992 umol/L.
    I did 6 to 7 weeks of dialysis until the creatine numbers went below 225. Stil currently high at 112.

    • @HTUMyeloma

      Brian, if you have neuropathy it may be because of Velcade or thalidomide. The subcutaneous version of Velcade has less neuropathy compared to the IV version. You should ALWAYS tell your doctor about neuropathy symptoms because they can lower dose or change treatments to prevent long-term damage. I am not aware of any alternative naturopathic therapies that kill myeloma cells.

    I still dont understand how i lost my father last year. They caught his really early and he did the bone marrow transplant and was on the chemo he had more bone marrow frozen. They said it was gone it was not in his system just to pass away in the middle of the night about a year after the transplant. Im a only child that just lost my last parent. My mother passed when i was 12 from another ugly illness! Smdh my mom was 31 my dad was 56 im 39 now i have no hope for the future. I figure i have sickle cell really bad im in heart and liver failure so.. I will probably go in between their ages. Im not sad tho i cant wait to see them again. I do have children i didn't want my daughter to be a only child like me. I wanted her to have a support system when im gone. And she does.

I was floored, I thought I had another mini stroke. The growth is pushing on my blood vessels & causing stroke like symptoms that eventually lead to another mini stroke.

We on a ventilator for 9 hours. Still kicking.

      I also have MM with severe bone involvement. Please read/research on holistic protocols that can compliment conventional treatments, like chemo. Read on the benefits of fasting, clean diet (like the Mediterranean or Alkaline diets, supplementations like a good source of vitamin D with K, Soursop (Graviola) tea, nettle tea, curcumin/turmeric is very good for MM, sauna to detox...Check out Dr. Thomas Lodi's UA-cam channel and Fasting Escape's channel.

Blood was clear so off meds and taking a 2.5 revlimid pill every day. Side effect of chemo....neuropathy. however, I still push through. Even checked out stem cell but with all that one goes through with that surgery, u still have to do some form of chemo. Sorry for all those young people afflicted. I thought only age 70 and up may be affected. Blessings!❤
