I did a lot of soul searching before taking those 2 Vicodins the other day after my BMB, and now taking an Fe supplement is creating additional grief. Just won't do it! And Becky you'll see me at work this morning, but whether it will be a happy one remains to be seen. And yes we did have a good run. Patti, I’m glad those drugs work for you, but that’s not me.

In light of your circumstance it sounds rather like a cliche to look to the positive, but there are positive things to think about or in your case dwell upon. You may not like the job environment now, but it does provide medical insurance and we had a good thing going (a much better deal than most, while we had, it to be sure) You also can be thankful that your wife has a positive outlook as well, as we both have seen the ramifications of the other on our fellow co-worker. But seriously, I want to see that happy face tomorrow at work. :-) Tell Edie John and I are thinking positive thoughts for her and you as well.

There are meds that can help you through these tough times if you are willing to try them. Works for me. Patti, fellow MCL patient Hi Marc,

Mon, 24 May 2010 23:43:33 +0000 http://livingwithmcl.com/?p=4221#comment-5373 Sorry about the news regarding Edie. As far as our household, Dee Dee and would be challenged to cope with cancer and the complications from same if we both had a form of the disease. So, hang in there and don't let the bastards get you down. Let your blogging be a way to vent and you do this very well. Get all the exercise you can for the benefits of mental, if not physical health that provides. You're a great example to many and don't forget that fact. Sorry about the news regarding Edie.

In your case consider the alternative to feeling good and riding at a competitive level, then life is really good! I would put the pillow on your bike seat and save your ass.....

The doctors are still deciding. She just had an MRI on Saturday, and they have to review it, to see if she needs some sort of surgery. It seems she has fractured something, myeloma related, so they have to review that first. Should know something more tonight. No not yet. The doctors are still deciding.

Do you know what the treatment will be? I’m really bummed to hear that Edie’s myeloma is rearing its ugly head again. Do you know what the treatment will be?
