I have multiple myeloma and underwent 16 weeks of chemo. To say it wiped me out is an understatement. Have had more tests than I can count. I was exposed to agent orange in Vietnam so doctors say that was a contributing factor. I tire out easily but can feel my strength coming back slowly. I thank the Lord every day for the VA and their wonderful doctors. My last checkup showed my numbers improving, I go in every 2 to 3 months for blood work than meet with my oncologist. I feel funny saying this but if I had to choose a cancer this is the one I would choose. They are making great strides in the treatment of myeloma and people are living longer today because of it. I was first diagnosed with smoldering myeloma about 3 years ago then progressed to multiple myeloma. Another thing I am very grateful for is I had hardly any side effects from chemotherapy. I think keeping a positive attitude is very important.
