Dr. Z!

Still had some hip pain when I went to bed last night.  Around 2:30 this morning, took pain pills and was able to sleep till 8.  Nice omelet made by Bill for breakfast.

We had our Myeloma support group meeting tonight.  Started with a pasta dinner.  Lasagna, eggplant,  penne, veggie, chicken and more.  Then a very informative speech by an oncologist , Dr. Z, about a new exciting drug hitting the market soon for Myeloma.  He started his career 30 years ago and at that time, there was only one drug to treat Myeloma.  Within the last 10 years, there have been a major breakthrough of meds out there.  Still not cureable but feels in a few years we will be able to use that word when talking about Myeloma.  After speech, we all shared our stories about our journey with Myeloma.  Some very happy stories and a few sad.  Mostly happy.  The longevity of some makes me more positive to what I have to look forward to.  We lite a candle for one who passed this week.
