On November 13 I entered this place for a "healing assault" on my body. At that time I thought this pathway was going to be in the shape of a vee. Steady line down to the bottom and then bouncing back up with a steady line on the other side. I was half right. The chemo induced descent to the bottom was pretty linear. The bounce back is anything but. There is a long way to go and the line is filled with ups and downs and plateaus. It is teaching Kathy and I patience.

Brian’s diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma was in May 2018. The initial treatment was a stem cell transplant. After 30 months there was a relapse, followed by chemo, another relapse, new chemo and yet another relapse. In January 2024, the 4th treatment began. Brian currently gets weekly injections of an immunotherapy drug. Sometimes we keep the faith and sometimes we need family and friends around us to keep the faith for us. This blog is about enabling us all to be kept in the faith.
