This is my first time at your blog, and I must say, it's quite an introduction. <br /><br />"Miraculous" is a word that comes to mind, and I understand your inclination to search for meaning and purpose within the reality of this event in your life, and I think you are quite right to do so... and I hope you find and follow it.<br /><br />I myself am quite new to the whole Myeloma lifestyle (dx Jan 2011, and currently in remission - partial response - after an ASCT), and am very encouraged by what you wrote.

He lost his battle in May last year after much pain and suffering, but fearless and optimistic to the very end. I am so very pleased for you and wish you all the luck in the world in the years to come.<br /><br />TinaTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559521519879381137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8059395179650562655.post-64356652226832771972012-01-29T00:57:45.421-08:002012-01-29T00:57:45.421-08:00The book is not about multiple myeloma as such.

I after all start in 1954 when my grandfather died. The book is anecdotal more than it is tutorial. It needs to be about all difficult battles with cancer, not just mine, so the technical details are left to the blog, but my encounters with incompetent doctors are not. <br /><br />At heart, the book is how to make the best decisions for yourself, especially unclouded by fear. Fear kills. People avoid treatment for too long, or insist on too much treatment too soon, go into denial about how the clock is working against them. In the case of prostate cancer, fear predominates in the vast number of unnecessary prostatectomies.<br /><br />So, is there a way, if not to eliminate fear from the decision-making process even if it won't go away? I found one for myself. I tell you how I found mine.<br /><br />There's also a need within sufferers to find someone else to take responsibility for their care, some paternalistic figure who will take care of them so that they can attempt to avoid worrying about their fate. Sometimes it's a doctor who fits the mold, sometimes there's a retreat to religion (of every stripe).<br /><br />Some spend vast sums on supplements to their diets, which in myeloma, is quite dangerous (remember, fellow patient, that it's the immune system that is malignant: you don't want to boost it);<br /><br />I love you are intending me, and sending me Reiki.Lon Nesselerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544465172485743313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8059395179650562655.post-84542139981231046862012-01-28T20:55:19.401-08:002012-01-28T20:55:19.401-08:00I keep you on my Intending list and continue to in...I keep you on my Intending list and continue to intend you are healthy and well in every single cell of your being... and I send you Reiki on a regular basis as well...
