Living with this craziness called Multiple Myeloma

Finally!
At 6pm I just starting receiving some pre-meds to prevent nausea. They will be followed by the chemo, Cytoxan. So far, all is good. Had a nice visit from my parents, Dave and my dear friend DD.
We are thinking about you every moment as are so many others knowing you will pull through this and get well. Hope you can get some rest tonight. Dave, too.
I cannot tell you both how proud we are of you....you made a very difficult situation turn into a very informative one for everyone who loves you two. The blog is very clever and full of wonderful information...and I can get on it and see your progress.
What I am reading in between the lines is what I would like to comment on. I see two wonderful people going through a difficult time; but not once did I read any "complaints". That is what I would like to address.....David, you have been Susan's ROCK and I could not be more proud of you. Susan needed that kind of love and support to get through this and you are doing that for her. Susan, God bless you. You, my dear girl, have shown us all that know you, what courage is. How you made all your commitments and attended family functions, and NEVER complained...just a sweet smile on your face.
It is easy to say, but this is true, St. Jude is going to help you. I have and will continue to pray for you that through and after this ordeal, you will be fine. I know it and so do the two of you.
I shall continue to write you notes, Just remember that we are here and love you both very much.
Being able to read your comments is like being able to sit with you...I don't know how you continue to be so upbeat and show such strength, but its truly inspirational. I'll check in every day just as I will be thinking of you every day, knowing you will come out on the other side of this the beautiful, smiling, curly-haired girl we all love so much. Love to your Mom,Dad and Dave too, as they accompany you on this journey, Jeanie
I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in April 2009 at the age of 43. I had an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in February 2010 with a complete response. Currently, I am one year in to a 18-month maintenance chemotherapy treatment.
