I believe I'm never fighting cancer alone.
I believe this new chemo will work.
I believe in a positive attitude.
I believe!
Saturday morning I went to Kits Beach and as I saw the logs on the beach, I though about how trying something or making a significant change in one's life can bring challenges.
However, I know I overcome any challenge put before me, by drawing strength from those that believe in me and by continuing to believe in myself.

After consultation with my Myeloma Specialist/Hematologist, I've made the choice to add an additional chemo to my Pomalyst chemo treatment. My December blood test results show that my cancer levels have increased from 8 in November to between 10 and 11 now. It should be more effective to have 2 chemos fighting my multiple myeloma now, before my cancer levels get too high. Multiple myeloma has severe symptoms that hopefully I can minimize with lower cancer levels.
M protein (g/L) (0 = cancer undetectable)
Dec = between 10 and 11
Nov = 8
Late Oct = 9
Early Oct = between 5 and 6
Sept = under 7.7
Aug = value missing
July = 3.0 (ended Dexamethasone)
Feb 2015 (began chemo) = 36.1
The details are still being worked out, although I hope to start soon. I'm staying positive that my cancer levels will drop - and stay down for a long time.
To recap: On Sunday, December 31st, I completed Cycle 38 Week 3. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex). On July 16th, my dexamethasone treatment ended, due to eye damage, as reported by my Glaucoma Specialist, from long-term use.
My melanoma on the day before it went to that great analysis lab in the sky. The dent in the middle is from the partial biopsy they took to make 100% sure it was cancerous before doing the rather complicated skin graft surgery to remove it. It was. Quote from surgeon: "Well, there was always going to be something there, wasn't there?"

My beautiful friend Shea was diagnosed with cancer recently, but you would honestly never know by the way she smiles, laughs, and continues to enjoy and live her life. She is such a beautiful person and such an inspiration to anyone who knows her. I had a lovely time photographing her yesterday with another friend of mine and hope to continue to document her journey through this.
Early detection of cancer greatly increases the chances for successful treatment.

The Sacramento Cancer Survivors Park is the 18th park built by the Bloch Foundation. it is a tribute to those who have survived cancer. While each park reflects it's individual city, the parks all have three common elements: a bronze sculpture by the late Mexican artist Victor Salmones, featuring eight life-sized figures navigating a maze that represents cancer treatment; a positive mental attitude walk; featuring 14 plaques inscribed with inspirational messages; and a road to recover marked with seven motivational plaques. The park was designed by Forrar Williams Architects.

Friday evening I travelled to Queen Elizabeth Park, one of my favourite places to visit. I had a concept in mind for my self-portrait and hoped that the forest area I chose would be a good location for catching light as the sun set. Forests are magical places.
To recap: On Sunday, August 27th, I completed Cycle 34 Week 1. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex). On July 16th, my dexamethasone treatment ended, due to eye damage, as reported by my Glaucoma Specialist, from long-term use.
The Bloch Plaza Cancer Survivor's Park near Hermann Park in Houston, Texas.
Sculpture created by the renowned Mexican sculptor, Victor Salmones, it is eight
life-size figures passing through a maze depicting cancer treatments and success.
It is placed in the most visible point in the park for passers-by because it needs no
explanation. People can walk among the figures, touch them, walk through the maze
and generally visualize themselves being helped. It is moving. The second element
in the park is a “Positive Mental Attitude Walk”. This is an area that a person can stroll
through, meditate and read some 14 plaques; 4 are inspirational and 10 are specific
suggestions on fighting cancer. The third element is The Road to Recovery. This
consists of 7 bronze plaques with common sense advice to use during treatment.
Also in Houston another focal point is a beautifully carved stone work covered in
wrought iron, the dome of which has 2,000 lights.
Anyone can call the Bloch Cancer Hotline, 800-433-0464, to obtain a list of
comprehensive cancer centers who offer second opinions.

Cancer cells can become mobile and travel in the bloodstream to invade other organs. From a physics perspective, there are clues pointing to cancer as a phenomenon influenced by forces and fields – not one that is purely ruled by genetic instructions. It is fascinating, for example, that the Young’s modulus of cells changes as cancer progresses, sometimes dramatically, while the stiffness of the tissue that cells touch can affect their gene expression – a process known as mechano-transduction.

another cancer story... australian doctors are helping this young girl by donating their time to remove this tumor from her face.
It's hard to know how to say this.
"My father is fighting cancer." Nope. Sounds too much like a back alley brawl, and this is a much bigger deal than that.
"My father is battling cancer." Closer. Given the great chunks of medical machinery being brought to bear on his illness, "battle" seems more descriptive than "fight". But battles are (usually) parts of wars, and I'm inclined to be more explicit about that. So...
"My father has become a foot soldier in humanity's on-going war with cancer."
This seems pretty apt. We (mostly my Mom) are the support staff, providing love and support and matériel, eagerly and nervously awaiting news from the front. But he's the one in the trenches, dealing with the foot rot and the deafening machines of war and the crap rations.
The key diagnoses were last week, and luckily my wonderful sister was able to fly down from New York and be with them for several days of intense and difficult information gathering. A huge thanks to her for being there for all of us!
Dad’s got cancer of the throat. The doctors place the odds at 50/50, but the system is pretty complex and there are a whole host of things that could slip or crack. He’s got several weeks of radiation and chemo ahead, so it’s going to be a long slog (and probably a rough Christmas), but Dad and Mom and the doctors are all prepared for the fight. Saturday morning was the first skirmish; happily he came through that in excellent shape.
Everyone here in Morris has been really supportive and wonderful, for which we are extremely grateful. We're going to take off the week of Thanksgiving and will drive down to be with my parents for that week. Until then, it's fingers crossed and a lot of time on the phone.

Saw my specialist today. 62.2 is my current igG (Cancer level). Starting 4th chemo treatment next week in injection and pill form for my multiple myeloma
Dexamethasone, Cyclophosphamide (chemo), and Velcade (chemo injection form)
these are jackson-pratt drains. according to my favorite nurse they're also known as grenade drains.
This is old. I took it on my birthday. I thought I had uploaded it...Oh well(:
If you could wish for anything, what would it be? I ask you that my Flickr darling's.
I'd get rid of cancer, I answered before I started to sob. If God could give me anything, anything I want, I'd want his power, for a few minutes to get rid of cancer.
Cancer is the worst possible thing to ever excist. I hate so much that it has to be a real thing. Why not be some sort of fairy tale, or joke? Why does it have to be real? WHY.
No one will ever know the answer to that question.
Cancer wrapped my Aunt Joan up like a blanket, and claimed her body, but let me tell you something, cancer will not ever take away her hope. Not once did it.
It took away no one's hope. My Aunt Joan mocked and lauged right in Cancer's face. And she took it on challenge, and left her body her, with her beautiful daugher.
If I could take all the cancer from everyone in the world, and bring it apon me, I so would. Not a single person in this world deserves to have it living and growing and taking over their body. No one.
Cancers brings pain to my heart and tears to my eyes and I know it has for you, at one point or another.
I smile at you for having cancer. You are a brave, incredible, beautiful person. I just thought you should know, that I'm praying for you.
