A big thank you to everyone who has sent messages, emails, texts and other technical forms of support for tomorrow. Mike even had a text from his mate Dave in Australia. (Now that one had me in tears.) We love you all darlinks.
I wanted to reach out to you as a fellow MM traveler. I have maintained a blog that may be of some interest to you: www.nvdmyeloma.blogspot.com.
I chose an aggressive treatment that has been demonstrated to be potentially curative in over 50% of newly diagnosed patients. There are also other therapeutic options, of course. In any case, you may find answers to many questions on my blog, including what the medicines do, what side effects feel like, how one handles a transplant, etc.
I know it may seem overwhelming at first, but you will get your hands around this!
PLEASE let me know if I can be helpful.
Warmly,
Nick van Dyk Diagnosed 10/08 Complete remission 7/09
