Sid's multiple myeloma journey

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma Stage 3 IgG Kappa in June 2001. This is a retrospective blog of my multiple myeloma journey created in January 2009 compiled from diaries I have kept and from my memory.
It is a record of my journey that may be of help to those on their myeloma journey and to others beginning theirs.
Multiple myeloma: my illness, my body, my treatment.
