Have you tried a weighted blanket? My Mom sleeps with one to keep the neuropathy from keeping her awake at night. For her it helps.

Marsha, I wanted to check in and see how you are doing.
My mother was diagnosed w/ MM back in December 2010. She just had to take a break from chemo because her platelets remain so low plus the neuropathy got really bad in her feet (completely numb) and legs (hurt a lot). They say cycle 4 is where it really kicks in bad. We go back to the onc on 6/20, and they will re-run her blood to see if she can start back. She hopefully gets her port in on 6/21 becasue her veins are shot. Wish we had done that at the beginning. She just turned 74 yesterday. Her chemo consists of melphelan/prednisone/velcade, plus monthly Zometa infusions. She just started neurontin to see if helps w/ the neuropathy. Prayers and good thoughts for you! (((hugs)))

Cruise was fun and met some really nice people... I am glad I did it, I loved Seattle and would definitely love to go back there sometime..
I do not see my oncologist again until the middle of June, when I do, I will post an update.. The neuropathy goes on.. but other than that I feel relatively ok... missing my guy and living my life.. Everyone keep the faith and go for the gusto, Marsha

Does anyone have an update on Marsha/still keep in touch? Marsha was always a blessing to so many, despite her own hardships. I am SO hoping that against all odds, things finally improved for her. I would love to know how she is! Laurie

Marsha's Tommy has been gone 3 years ago yesterday October 1 and she has been gone since July 13 this year.
They were wonderful people and the only consolation I have on their loss is the fact that they are reunited in Heaven....

Thank you for the info - I feared as much. I guess I will adopt the attitude shared by you and TruBlu and take solace in the fact that they are reunited once again.
