I almost fell over in reading your message. My Mom died of Myeloma in 1971. We didn't know till 3 weeks before she died what she had...she had been sick for 2 years before that...She even went to a hospital a year before she was diagnosed (the doctor failed to report a TRACE of cancer). We were all crushed: when we found out what was wrong...they gave her one week to live. She managed to live her last 3 weeks in the hospital. I was only 14...How devastating....her pain was immense during her last few months of life....
This cancer spreads everywhere...and FAST....please refer to this site for any more questions: www.myeloma.org
I sure hope you or any of your family or friends are not suffering from this disease. If they are, my prayers are with ya...p.m. if you want, I am here for you.

thanks CodeBlue. And I am the one with it. I guess I have a difficult fight ahead, but I will remain as possitive as possible. Its too bad I have no family though, as they are all JWs. I have my son who is 25 and my husband. And a real good friend.
I am so sorry it happened to your mom. It must have been very tragic for you and your family and especailly being only 14 yrs old. We have a little more medical advancement since then, but I still am scarred. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the web site. I have been doing research on Mayo Clinic., but I was hoping someone here on the board knew anything thing and here you were. Bless you.
Love Orangefatcat. (Terry)
Hey Fat Cat,
I'm really sorry!
One of my good friend's husband passed away from it last January. I'm sure I can get loads of information from her, if you need any, or have any questions. Feel free to PM me w/ any. He had Multiple Myloma, so I don't know if that's a worse stage of it, or not....but, yeah...PM me w/ any questions.
My thoughts are w/ you.....

Dear Terry:
I am so sorry to find out about your diagnosis. My heart aches for you....
Did you just find out? How advanced is your illness?
Thank goodness that we have had great advances in the medical world since 1971.
Where do you live?
Please feel free to p.m. me anytime.
Many hugs are sent to you right now...

If you don't mind I'll be sending up a little prayer for a recovery, some strength and peace of mind for you and your family. I am saddened by your news.
My wife has had it for a number of years now. Everyone once in awhile she gets a piece of 'discolored' flesh removed from her back and have it checked out. The results? So far, so good. She goes to a local cancer group in our community. Group meetings has helped her as she likes to help others.
