Hi Lori --
I saw that you were diagnosed with MGRS -- me, too! And that you live on Vancouver Island -- I lived in Bellingham, WA for about 40 years, but now live in France. I have family on Vancouver Island -- Duncan and Nanaimo. Beautiful. Are you finished with your MGRS treatment? Mine just started yesteday. Next step for me is to start dealing with with CKD.

Hi Sheri,
Nice to hear from you.!
I m just travelling back to the island after a long road trip east.
Yes, we were neighbours for awhile lol, I moved here 10 years ago from Alberta.
I am currently in my second year of remission, and by the looks of my numbers will make another year. woo hoo!
My treatment is quite common,
5 week cycles over a period of nine
months of Bortezomid, Cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone. Weekly injections and one pill, fifth week pill only.
I unfortunately had a psychotic reaction to the dex. and was hospitalized for 3 weeks whike they straightened everything out. My treatment then left out the dexamethasone.
Glad to hear that you have great care there, it makes a world of difference. It is a shock for sure to receive this diagnosis.
