More about Multiple Myeloma - if interested


Some folks are wanting to know more.  Others are not so interested in the details.  We thought we'd put it out there and let you choose whether or not you want to read it.  This whole journey has been quite fascinating from a scientific perspective, but sometimes it's hard to remain objective.  After all, this is a loved one we're talking about.  And there are always risks and unexpected twists and turns.  We're hopeful that Leila will avoid all those obstacles and sail through this with relative ease.

However, I am NOT ready for the chemo to cause the impending baldness. I don't want to wake up some random morning in the next couple of weeks with hair all over the pillow, or shower floor. I want to lose it on my own timing, supported by a few loving people. The day is today, early afternoon. The method, barber's clippers. I hope to morph through several different cuts.
