A New Start and Wonderful Healing

Here is a 'mob' of ducks who have become a family, they were fighting with each other then Gertrude, in the foreground, hatched 'baby' George, who is the biggest of the lot, you can just see his white neck at the back.   For some reason I guess they figured they need to clan up to protect him while he grew. So now they hang out together.  They have an occasional squabble but are unified.

That is how we should be with our family and friends, group together to give support.  I apologize for the writing delay but I have a had a busy summer.  This is what happens when your health improves 100%.  MY MM is still in my body but the new meds plus the natural supplements, have given me the most normal blood work I have had in years.  I have lost weight.  The weight was a symptom of the last  2 years of illness, once I improved I changed nothing and the weight came off.
I am thankful to God and man for my improvement.
I had 4 months of Velcade inject subcutaneous but not continuous.  4 weeks on then  2 off. I must say it worked very well for me.  At the beginning I had problems with the Velcade but after cutting the dose almost in half, I tolerated it extremely well and it gave the MM a solid kick.

I had the pleasure of have a few trips and enjoying them, Utah, Las Vegas, and the mountains of Idaho.
What a great experience to have no pain and actually enjoy my tripping about.Mountain air, new friends and lots of new experiences.  I am still taking my supplements but am off the Velcade for now and will be checked in 3 months.
Times are tough for everyone, even if you are not ill.  Have faith, meditate and if you so desire pray.
There is a lot a higher power can do for us all.   We have to keep the faith with all the bad energy flowing about.  Remember this is about choosing an honest person for the highest office in the land not about parties, or hanging on to old ways.  We need peace and calm throughout the world.

I have lots of positive feedback from people using the polymva.  Some are just using the polymva others are using with their chemotherapy, as it helps stop the side effects.
personally I have had the most minimum of discomfort from the Velcade (Which tends to aggravate the nerve endings causing neuropathy) I am fortunate only to have the tinest bit of it, which I put down to taking the Poly MVA at the same time.  I skipped it on the Velcade day but took it the next day.

I also noticed a rise in incidents of Multiple Myeloma and hope this can be stopped.  Such a nasty disease.
Here is my singing group this week and they sound wonderful.  I am sad my singing voice has gone but one day it may come back.  Take care and have a wonderful week:)
