I am humbled by your kindness

First,
Let me say.. that each of your posts and sentiment mean the world to me.. your words of comfort are incredibly reassuring to me. And thank you for the prayers...

Things are pretty much the same on the homefront.. but I did want to share this video and voyage of one of our fellow MMers (that is short for multiple myelomers).. This is carpyeditor.. he has a ton of posts on youtube.. but right now he is going through his second stem cell transplant.

He got his high dose chemo yesterday and today he was reinfused with his own stem cells. In 8 weeks or so he will receive a third transplant from someone he doesn't even know... this stem cell transplant is called a mini-allo..and quite frankly carries a risky mortality rate.
I only know carpy through his youtube posts.. he has quite a personality..

I don't really have much more to say... I guess a little numb.. but doing my damndest (is that a word) to stay positive.. hugs to all of you..

  2. I didn't even know about the other blog and now I get it. I am so sorry you and your husband are having to endure any of this let alone all of this. My heart goes out to you. You and your family and your husband are in my prayers.

    It's kinda funny, I always thought your blog was a little cryptic...but now I get it. I wish we could just eradicate all health ailments (to put it mildly and to lump all the shite together) from this planet and just be happy healthy people forever.

  6. Barb, the Today show just did a longish segment on multiple myeloma. I'm sure it'll be on their website later today. xoxo
