Matt vs Myeloma: when the going gets tough....

I'm back on my treanda treatment. There's going to be some adjustments. Take a look....

My Multiple Myeloma Story

On May 2, 2011 I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. I had never heard of it before but know all about it now. It's a bone marrow and blood cancer. I began chemotheray on May 3. I created this blog to keep folks up to date with my health, my treatment, and my adventure.

Update. It's now February 24, 2013. Almost two years since my diagnosis. I'm on a maintenance chemo program. Doing well.

Update. It's now May 18, 2014. Recently passed the three year mark since diagnosis. Back in March I relapsed. Not a big relapse, but a relapse nonetheless. I went back to the treatment that worked. That would be treanda (bendamustine), velcade, revlimid and dexamethasone. I'm doing well.

Update. It's now November 30, 2014. Been back on maintenance for two months and everything is good. Numbers have declined since I started maintenance, which is revlimid, dex, velcade and Medrol.
