my second update from the hospital regarding my stem cell transplant. shortly after i filmed this, I found out that i'll need to be given blood today, which sucks. But I still feel pretty good.
here's a long overdue update as to how the chemotherapy and stem cell transplant are going. I've been in the hospital for just over a week now and I've been too weak really to be posting anything, but today I got off my ass and made it happen. I'm even getting medicinal marijuana for my nausea
This was my first follow up after one cycle of cancer drugs. This blood being drawn will be tested to see if the meds are working. They're also running tests ahead of my back surgery next week. If you're squeamish about blood and needles, you might not want to see this one.
This is my daily update on how I'm feeling, which was much better this day. I also go on a rant about stem cell research and how I need your support in stem cell research to potentially save my life. Important stuff.
nobody reads these descriptions, but this video is an update on my cancer, as well as a letter i got from someone seeking advice on multiple myeloma and the fact that an x-ray revealed pneumonia in my lungs.
This is the first clip in my video diary project to follow my progress and treatment of multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone mar This is the first clip in my video diary project to follow my progress and treatment of multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It's intended to give my friends, family and doctors a daily update as to how I'm doing.
I think the title speaks it all. I've been pretty strong through this whole thing, but the reality of the transplant is starting to come down on me and it's causing me to feel very emotional and lonely as hell.
Here I talk go through every single medication I'm on (which add up to about $15,000 a month. Luckily health insurance covers all but about $150)and explain what each does and what its side effects are. This will answer many of the questions you have about my treatment.
Sorry for the delay, but I am doing well and just enjoying the summer. This is the first of about 20 videos I'll be posting in the next week. I've done a lot of filming over the past two months, but I just haven't sat down to upload them. So here's the first.
