I love your blog, it has been very helpful to me on this day as I continue to suffer setbacks. <br /><br />I was 52 when I was diagnosed March 11, 2009 with IgA kappa stage IIIA. First auto stem cell transplant July 22, 2009, no response, second auto sct December 28, 2009, no response. <br /><br />Now chromosomal changes kicking my MM to a even more aggressive beast. The docs want me to have an allo and I have a perfectly matched donor, my sister. Insurance has denied once again after appeals. I am just now working on a new game plan. <br /><br />My doctor says the allo is my only chance of remission, so I am rather bummed at the moment. Not defeated yet, definitely bummed.<br /><br />I have not been dealing with this as long as you have, honestly when I had my first SCT I never gave this thing a second thought, I really thought I would be done with this thing! <br /><br />Thanks for taking time to share your journey with the world. <br /><br />Take care, Tricia in TexasTrainierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235249035771501831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310417489443581726.post-37516278488957093092009-11-14T22:20:04.612+13:002009-11-14T22:20:04.612+13:00Penny,

It gave both of us some idea as to what would happen.<br /><br />My husband was diagnoised with MM in April 2009. He underwent chemo, stem cell transplant and the day before he was to be released he had a massive heart attack and died. (Oct. 15, 2009) He had heart problems all of his life and we were warned by the heart doc this could happen during transplant. Unfortunately all I heard was going home. Please stress to people to have wills made and their last wishes known to their loved ones. <br /><br />I will pray that you continue to have a long remission.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Penny Lee plee@uic.eduPennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310417489443581726.post-34338061483962531412009-07-23T03:21:11.237+12:002009-07-23T03:21:11.237+12:00Sid, thank you for your blog.

I am already at my third plateau. Good luck on fighting your disease. I find that I went through much the same thought process you did, as indicated in your blog.<br /><br />Michael Evans<br />michael.r.evans@shell.comMichael Evansnoreply@blogger.com
