Getting My Learning On
Don't get me wrong, myeloma and cancer suck. But I will say that since being diagnosed I've had the chance to meet some of the most passionate, caring and inspiring individuals. On Kilimanjaro I was with 5 other patients who are not letting the disease slow them down. And earlier this week I was in Boston to spend time with patients and caregivers who are so smart about the disease and so dedicated to supporting and helping others impacted by myeloma. I also got a chance to tour the facilities of Takeda Oncology where they make velcade and are working on finding new and better treatments. I used to feel so out of place and not smart when I was with these folks. But for the first time, I feel like I kind of understand what they're talking about. I've got a ways to go, but I am getting smarter about the disease. I'll try and share some things I learned in a future post.

The Mini Mystery
You may recall the case of my lost Kindle, which I wrote about in 2019. I left a Kindle on a plane and tried to track it down at the Atlant...

Wow! What an awesome experience Matt. And I agree, myeloma is awful, but it sure has connected us to some amazing people and amazing experiences! Bet that tour was awesome! Hope you're doing well, and your MM stats are stable and you're winning :)) Julie
