    • About Me

      Well I worked in a factory until November of 2007. I lost my job and my medical insurance. I was in remission for about 6 months and now I am coming out. They tell me that all that is left for us to try now is a bone marrow transplant. If it works it could give me a couple more months. I don't know if they know what they are talking about. I feel pretty good except for the pain. Thats not to good.

    • Interests

      My grandchildren and my daughter and my mother are my main interests and focus. I spend as much time as possible with them. I like taking my grandchildren to the movies. I feel that the movies will be something they will always remmeber me by as the grandma that took us to the movies alot. I spend time with daughter and mother shopping. That is if someone has any money to do that. I also do alot of sewing for the kids too. Make pillows to PJ's for them. I also been making a cookbook for my daughter. If any off my friends out there have any unique recipes or personal recipes. Send them to me I will put them in her book. I also write alot. I wanted to complete my book I have been writting before I leave this world. I am a people person and love life. I pray for others and think about the idea that there is someone out there that has it worse than me. I do not take life for granted as well as I don't take granted of others either.

    • Close Multiple Myeloma

      I was recently diagnoised with Multiple Myeloma. After several years of not knowing what was wrong with me. I have had several blood transfusions by a certain doctor not knowing why she was giving them to me. While she was on vacation another doctor thought maybe I could have this thing called Myeloma. Well I found me an oncologist and guess what I have it. I have had Velcade as my chemo therapy. It worked for a minute. I was in remission for about six months. Now I am coming out.

      Treatments

      Velcade Working / Worked
      The velcade is working ,and I am producing blood. I have slit neuropathy, tiredness, and a little bit of nausea. My iga levels are going down.
      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      It worked at first. I now have Periphial Nueropathy. It is not going away. It is very annoying and painful. It was one of the side effects of the drug they used.
      Velcade Working / Worked
      The velcade is working ,and I am producing blood. I have neuropathy, tiredness, and a little bit of nausea. My iga levels are going down.
