Yesterday I closed my post with this cryptic statement:

I wanted to keep those of you who kindly follow my site updated on my medical journey.

I attended a myeloma informational seminar last week at Moffitt Cancer Center here is Florida and wrote about what I saw:

I attended a Florida Educational Advocacy Group event last evening at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.  The topic:  New Treatment Options for Multiple Myeloma.

I have been following the progress of one of our patient readers who also lives in the Tampa area.

Yesterday I explained how “the half-life effect” is nothing more than an oncology related rule of thumb.

I met with my myeloma specialist, Dr. Melissa Alsina, at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa yesterday.

Good news for me Monday.  I met with Dr. Alsina and all is going as hoped!

I’m heading-off to Moffitt Cancer Center first thing this am to meet with my myeloma specialist, Dr. Melissa Alsina.

During a pre-op  appointment today with the surgeon who will be cutting my ear, I discovered something which probably shouldn’t surprise me:   This melanoma thing is a bigger deal than I was originally told.

I had an appointment scheduled today to meet with my multiple myeloma specialist, Dr. Melissa Alsina, at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.

I had the opportunity to attend my local multiple myeloma support group meeting last evening for the first time since my stem cell transplant.

I am up at 6 am writing this. Severe leg cramps every time I try to lay back down. Fortunately, things settle down after five or ten minutes of standing and leaning against the counter in the kitchen. Then I’m able to sit at my work station with little or no discomfort. Guess someone is trying to tell me to get to work!

I was interested to learn how my myeloma specialist, Dr. Melissa Alsina, was working closely with officials in Puerto Rico to develop a comprehensive bone marrow/stem cell transplant program.

For those of you who didn’t read my site over the weekend, you have a lot to catch-up on!

Yesterday I wrote this, following a long day of pre-planning for my upcoming stem cell transplant (SCT) at Moffitt Cancer Center:

Yesterday my wife, Pattie, and I spent the day in Tampa at Moffitt Cancer Center.

I completed my third infusioin of Velcade/dexamethasone yesterday around 3 PM.  Several hours before I was scheduled to begin, I experienced a severe pain in my left side.

Republicans Threaten Moffitt Cancer Center Funding

I currently see a myeloma specialist at Moffitt Cancer Center, on the South Florida University campus just north of Tampa.  I am scheduled to undergo my stem cell transplant here in June. You can bet I don’t like this proposed budget cut!

I recently learned about an innovative fundraiser to help multiple myeloma research in the Tampa area.  Called Sweetwater’s Paddle for the Cure, friends tell me it is a fun way to help raise lots and lots of money!
