For those who may not know, I've been fighting bone cancer since 2005. It started with discovering a cancerous lesion in one of my vertebra.  I had an operation to remove the lesion. Then I had radiation therapy. 5 years later, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Basically, I had cancer in just about every bone in my body. After chemotherapy, I had a Stem Cell Transplant.  I was good for another 5 years.
When the Multiple Myeloma came back I started chemotherapy again. When we started to close to the next transplant, I had some pain in my right shoulder and left hip. I call my Doctor, he said to go to the ER. While having x-rays done, believe it or not, I broke my right upper arm. Chemotherapy was postponed while I was in the hospital for the arm to heal.
Next, I started having pain in my neck. After CT and PET scans, finding a small lesion in my c-2 vertebra (right next to the skull) my doctor restarted chemotherapy and had radiation therapy on both my neck and upper arm.
Its been a year now and I should be  starting my second Stem  Cell Transplant any day now. The sooner the better in my opinion.
