I find that my self-portraits each week have a positive effect on my well-being by helping me remain creative and happy. Today I wandered by the hospital and found a quiet spot to relax. I enjoy calm moments when I can be alone with my thoughts.

Hello Phillip,
In a video you posted during the early days of your myeloma journey, you mentioned how you prefer to take your photos at sunrise or sunset. Coincidentily, I enjoy taking long walks during sunrise and again at sunset most days; perhaps it’s a “myeloma thing”, enjoying nature at its finest.
Congrats on completing cycle 12!
Thanks Marilyn. Yes, during my 2013 Velcade chemo I was making videos more and I still enjoy the magic hour for photography (sunrise/sunset). It is especially nice when on a beach or in a forest. Nature just rocks.
I wish you continual success on your own Myeloma journey. I’m right now in Week 3 of Cycle 12, rolling along, feeling good.
