Curetalk panel coming up on the 28th

Hello friends!

First, Alice Cooper never called me so I'm guessing those biopsies were negative.

Second, the Velcade is definitely causing the hair loss.  I stopped it for three weeks and the hair started thickening again and I felt better.  However, for reasons I will discuss in an upcoming blog, I'm going to keep with the Velcade, I think...lots to report on statistics and what not, not all of it great.

But, having said that, I'm still in complete remission as of my labs today -- everything looks good.

And so rather than kvetch, I wanted to let you know of my upcoming participation on another panel put together by my friends at Curetalk.  My other panelists and I will be answering questions about how we deal with therapy, side effects, and our condition.  I've seen some of the questions that have been submitted and it should be a very, very interesting discussion.

You need to register to participate and I think it's limited to 50 callers.  You can register at the link below, and a description of the panel follows.

I hope some of you can join us!
