I have been sitting on a number of obituaries and news stories about fellow myeloma patients who have passed-away recently.

Let me share some important myeloma related odds-and-ends from the past three or four days.

I am so touched!  Lots of positive, supportive comments.  But you should see all of the emails I received!   Isn’t it great how we can help each other?  I gain so much strength and support from my readers…

One year ago, a dear friend of mine passed-away after a long fight against multiple myeloma.  Ever notice how the myeloma usually wins?

Last weekend, Pattie and I attended a memorial gathering for a friend of ours, Peggy Dickinson, who died recently from complications associated with her multiple myeloma.

Did you know that famous advice columnist, Ann Landers,  died from complications associated with Multiple Myeloma?

Yesterday afternoon, a dear friend with multiple myeloma, Stacey Rohrer, died at her home, surrounded by friends and family, including her two young daughters.

I helped start a multiple myeloma support group one year ago, near my new home here in Florida–about an hour northwest of Tampa.
