Myeloma beginner's help
The internet has a great source of information for newly diagnosed myeloma patients.
I recommend two articles found on the North Texas Myeloma support group web page. Unfortunately I cannot verify the date they were written or if they have been updated since publication, my emails were unanswered. Access the articles on the North Texas Myeloma support group web page by control/click the title.
Living successfully with multiple myeloma by Peter Tischler.
An informative article listing points that one must know and do to best ensure that one will survive myeloma with the quality of life one wants. I discovered Peter’s article in 2005, four years after my diagnose. Fortunately I had been doing most of what Peter suggests so just needed to fine tune my approach.
His main points are:
1. Take care of your kidneys.
2. Avoid infections.
3. Form a survivor team.
4. Don’t be a good patient.
5. Educate yourself. (this may be you, your partner or a family member)
6. Maintain your immune system.
7. Keep medical records.
8. Know your doctor’s limitations.
9. Early warning system – avoiding crises.
Myeloma 101 by Peter Tischler.
Myeloma 101 explains the basics of myeloma, diagnostic tests that are used and treatments for myeloma.
There are three levels of explanation: L1 simple explanation, L2 more detail, L3 more technical stuff.
Contents include:
Myeloma 101.
What is multiple myeloma?
The myeloma cell.
Myeloma protein.
The supporting cast.
How myeloma affects us.
Different types of myeloma.
Staging myeloma.
Testing – Blood tests.

Follow my blog by feeds
Like to know how to follow my blog and too afraid to ask? Here is some help.
The assumption is your computer operating system is the same as mine; windows XP and internet explorer7. I am not sure how things work on other systems. See, I’m not perfect after all!
Following blogs by feeds is the easiest way I have found though it does rely on the blogs feeds being set up properly.
Feeds:
What is a site feed? An explanation is in this link.
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=41450
Before starting, pick favourites center. For those who have never done that before (and I know 2 who are in that basket) that’s the big yellow star at top left.
There you will see favourites/feeds/history. Feeds are where we look for any feeds.
How to subscribe to my blog:
Scroll down to the bottom of my blog.
Pick subscribe to: Posts (Atom)
In the new window that appears pick “subscribe to this feed”
In the Subscribe to this feed dialogue box:
Name: retain default or edit or write what you want.
Create in: Your choice, default feeds directory or create a sub folder.
Pick subscribe.
The blog feed page opens.
Close the feeds page.
Pick favourites center then feeds.
There you will see my blog name or the name you wrote.
My blog is scanned regularly by feed readers. When I have made a new posting my blog name will be in bold text.
My blog feed is set up to show all postings in full. Other blogs maybe set up differently.
Helpful comments are appreciated.
