Last week, more about I went in for my monthly big blood test for February to determine what my Hematology profile is (how my body responds overall to my chemo treatment) and learn what my Serum Proteins (Electrophoresis & Immunoglobulins) are, doctor which are my cancer levels. I drank lots of water beforehand and the technician was able to draw blood out of my right arm as it wouldn’t work out of my left arm.
My general cancer marker (igG) remained stable and my specific cancer marker (Beta 2 Globulin) decreased. This means there is less myeloma/cancer in my blood stream (as noted by the Beta 2 measure).

To recap: On Sunday, February 28th, I completed Cycle 14 Week 3. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare blood cancer. It is incurable, but treatable. From February to November 2013, I received Velcade chemo through weekly in-hospital injections as an outpatient. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex).

There is something magical seeing the Cherry blossoms in the city. Spring is such a beautiful time to walk around Vancouver. On Kits Beach, order
I took a moment to create a happy memory.
I’m feeling great and remain focused on stress-free living. Staying positive everyday!

Yesterday it was a beautiful day, malady
although a bit overcast. I decided it was a perfect opportunity to walk around Stanley Park from Lost Lagoon to Second Beach. It felt refreshing to walk around water, information pills
to see tall trees, information pills
and watch swans and geese enjoying themselves in their natural habitat.
This week’s self-portrait is black and white as I wanted to try something new. In addition, I enjoy taking multiplicity self-portraits (more than 1), as they are always fun to create.
I’m feeling happy and staying positive each day!

On a beautiful sunny day I looked out my door and felt very happy that Spring is here. During my walks in the neighbourhood I enjoy listening to birds chirping and see flowers welcoming the new season. I’m moving on and looking for a new room in Vancouver from May 1st. I’m a non-smoker, no rx
quiet, check
and friendly. I have a limited budget, so I’m looking for something reasonably priced. It should preferably be along the Canada Line.

This morning I spent time in quiet reflection as the sun rose in the distance. Each day I try my best to stay happy and positive and appreciate what life has to offer. I believe that positivity and minimizing stress in my life are effective tools for fighting my multiple myeloma.
Last week I had my March blood test and the results are good. My general cancer marker (igG) and my specific cancer marker (Beta 2 Globulin) remained stable, clinic
although both increased slightly.
