Everyday this week was identical. The clinic checked several blood markers and based on the results I would get blood or platelets or something else. And I always get two bags of saline solution, with each bag taking three hours so the minimum time sitting around is six hours. Fortunately they have recliners so you can sleep or read or watch tv. Still it's really boring.
During the week I was completely wiped out, especially in the morning. Also I was still fighting the nausea and zero appetite. But very slowly things seem to improve.

A Little Background
- Allen in Decatur, Georgia
- Although this is a Myeloma-focused blog, you may be interested in knowing that this is not my first battle with the Monster. In 2001, at age 55, I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer. That means metastatic, incurable but not untreatable, quality of life damaging, potentially fatal Prostate Cancer. So I've already been through the shock of figuring out that life will end, it's just a matter of when. Now the battle is on, facing two fronts. The PC has been under control although it's starting to reemerge a little recently. The MM is harder to control. If you're taking bets, I'd go with the MM. Just don't expect a payoff anytime soon...
