Mashup Score: 7Mathura | Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - 24 hour(s) ago
I went out to ring in 2023 on New Year’s Eve telling everyone it would be MY year, a time to celebrate new projects and dreams I had been conjuring. A simpler life. Days later, I developed pneumonia, bronchitis, severe muscle pain, and then heart failure from all of it. In March, an x-ray that was supposed to look at my chest for heart failure instead showed lesions and holes from my pelvis to my rib cage, a sign of advanced multiple myeloma (MM) which was confirmed weeks later. I had no idea what it was or what it meant, but luckily, I had friends who were fighting cancer who helped comfort and lead me to better answers than Google. I read through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) website, and a friend helped me get a smart, reassuring second opinion with UCLA with the help of LLS. I’ve had a round of radiation and am on my fifth cycle of chemotherapy. Navigating the appointments, records, insurance, disability, and financial sides of having cancer is something no one is prepared

It’s all gone away. And I couldn’t be any more at peace with it than I am now. In early 2005, while vacationing with my family. I was working out in the resort gym. I received an excruciating pain in my shoulder as I completed a movement with the weights. An elderly man saw the grimace on my face and asked, “How long have you had shoulder problems?” I responded that I had never had any shoulder issues. The pain subsided, and I continued to enjoy the rest of my vacation. Upon returning home, I played basketball in my yard and again experienced that pain. I went to my family practice doctor to see if they could determine where the problem came from. He continu
