Week 173 of chemo complete: A quiet moment of solitude

Blogpost | Twitter

 

One of the side effects of chemo treatment is how it affects my body temperature. I’m always feeling cold and continue to wear a toque when I feel chilly. This morning, I found it too cold (probably 10-11C/50-52F), to take a beach photo, so instead I waited until the weather warmed up, closer to noon. I then had a quiet moment of solitude.

 

Staying positive!

 

To recap: On Sunday, June 3rd, I completed Cycle 44 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. On January 9th I began Ninlaro chemo as my cancer levels have been steadily rising.
