I mean the end of the transplant process is near: I'll be released on June 29th to my oncologist and I have only one more appointment before then to remove my catheter. My energy has improved a lot and I'm eating a lot better too so life is becoming a little more normal. I'm still in isolation for a couple more months unfortunately but other than boredom it's not too terrible.
A note for any readers who are blood donors: the platelets that I received during my treatment came from Atlanta Blood Services. They are always looking for platelet donors, so give them a call at 404-459-8744. They're located across the hall from BMT and I think they are associated with each other.

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...
