Sometimes unexpectedly, a really amazing thing will happen to you – like a friend calling to meet up for sushi, or finding a beautiful flower, while walking through a forest.
My cancer levels for May dropped to 36 from between 47 and 48 in April. I missed 2 weekly sessions of chemo while hospitalized for 10 days due to my blood infection, so this is really incredible.
Happy dance!
My first night, while still in ER, I was given a COVID-19 test and thankfully found out the next morning I had tested negative. During that night, I didn’t sleep much, I worried about my grocery shopping that morning and wondered if I had unknowingly infected others.
I’m wearing a mask whenever I leave my apt now, to better protect others from me – today and tomorrow. It helps give me peace of mind, especially when I go for chemo treatment or when around people with compromised immune systems.

I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. Multiple myeloma affects the plasma cells, a type of immune cell that produces antibodies to fight infection. These plasma cells are found in the bone marrow. As a blood cancer, it is incurable, but treatable.
From December 2019 I’ve been on Darzalex (Dartumumab), an IV chemo with Velcade (Bortezomib), a chemo injection + dexamethasone.
