Multiple Myeloma (Bone Marrow Cancer) My Cancer Journey.

Thoughts and prayers are with you - cancer is a bitch

 

I am more than a believer of our God, He has had his hands on me even before I was born ( I am adopted ) Never lose Faith!! no matter what!

 

I was told during today's visit that the treatments are starting to work. thanks for the continued prayers.

 

Hell YEAH! Keep fighting hard brother.

 

Praying for you.

Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Keep strong and positive, we're pulling for you.

 

Stay strong and prayers for you brother

 

I will continue to post the highs and lows and maybe it will give someone hope. Jimmy Carter was coming in for his checkup as me and the Wife were leaving this morning. He had some big dudes dressed in Black with him he looked good to be 90. we gave each other the thumbs up and he was smiling, they used some new treatment on him and the brain tumor he had is gone now.

 

My side effects of the Chemo so far are little or no taste all the time. (Unless it is an egg samich) reduced feeling in hands and feet, Dizziness, and now the big one teeth are changing and one has broken. I have to give myself a blood thinner shot each night(Wife has watched but almost passed out LOL) But all the treatments are making positive progress. The most comfortable seat at the house is the one behind the steering wheel of my Tacoma. Later guy's keep doing those mods and posting pics!!

 

Glad to hear that it's working, stay strong brother.

 

UPDATE:Today I went into the Hospital to donate my own Stem cells for my transplant. Next I will be having my Kidney tumor removed on 6-27-17. When I recover from the surgery Then I will get my stem cells back. Been a long process and not over yet.

 

Keep up the positive attitude! Good luck!

 

Thanks, I have a lot of family in Farmington. Love me some NM and the good food.

 

Try to hit the big stuff while you can! Take the truck to moab. Do an Alaska trip. If you haven't been to Thailand, GO

Edit: cancer sucks

 

I have a trip planned to Utah when I am able to travel again.

Had my Kidney tumor removed 7/7/17 spent three days in ICU came home 7/10/17. Sore as hell but the tumor is gone and I feel real good about that. Take about 4 weeks to recover and then I will go into the hospital for Chemo and my Stem cell transplant. Thanks for the support everyone!!!
