My Bout with Multiple Myeloma

In 2008, the author was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, which is a blood plasma cancer. This book chronicles the author’s battle — to include the times prior to diagnosis, the diagnosis itself, the treatments (four cycles of chemotherapy followed by one high dose cycle and an autologous stem cell transplant), and the recuperation period following all treatments. Since 2009, the cancer has been in complete remission. In this book, the author includes descriptions of most of the procedures to which he was subject, and he gives helpful hints and suggestions to others who may have to deal with this or other cancers. The book was written for those who have been similarly diagnosed, as well as for their family members and friends who may be called upon to support their loved ones through similar battles.
