This my four year anniversary of being diagnosed with mm. I remember thinking I was dying soon especially after I was started on Thalidamide. Julie was divorced and had reunited with an old friend . Since then she has married Andy and they have added 2 teenage grandchildren and an almost 3 year old grandson to our family. We now are blessed to have 7 grandchildren all who are doing great and we love spending time with. I am no longer able to work as a RN due to my peripheral neuropathy but with my Bob's help I am able to baby sit this wonderful little boy while his parents work. The upside of being on disability is that I don't have to worry about losing my job in this economy and medicare is affordable. Life certainly is different then it was before but it is still very happy and fulfilling. I am blessed to surrounded by a very caring, loving and supportive family. I thank God everyday for giving me this time.

I'm soooooo glad your outlook has improved! Wow, four yrs ago, I was going thru alot with my divorce and finances....and then you got diagnosed, I felt like my world was collapsing. I'm so thankful you got to see me find happiness. Everyday is a gift, life can change in the blink of an eye. We're thankful you're well enough to help watch Dean for us, and we really appreciate it! It's great that he has the opportunity to get to know his grandparents!
love you!
