Greetings and welcome to Myeloma On The High Plains!

​

If the name sounds familiar its because I used to write a column for the Myeloma Beacon under a heading similar to this new heading. The Beacon ceased to exist back in December 2020. What I am attempting to accomplish here is an extension of my previous columns.

​

For me, there was and is great joy in writing and communicating with others who are on the Myeloma journey. Previously, I experienced a very real kinship with those that took the time to read the columns and respond. When the Beacon closed down, I found that I missed the connection I felt with others through my column. And so, after months of internal debate and questioning I am attempting to reach out and connect with others in a similar manner that I felt was present through my previous columns.

​

My goal for this site is to provide value to the reader. Whether you are a Myeloma Survivor, a cancer survivor, or a caregiver to someone who is dealing with this disease, it is my hope that through this site, you can find value in whatever fashion you define. I realize that this is more of a global perspective because I am not sure how all of this will evolve. I am sure that it will evolve and that over time it will find its own level of value.

​

The only request that I have for the readers is to reach out to others who are on the cancer/myeloma journey and let them know that we are here. I welcome any of your thoughts, suggestions and ideas for the website as we move forward. I am quite certain the changes from this first go-round will be coming. There are a lot of ideas in the works. I hope that you’ll be patient as we progress.

In advance, I thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing how this journey progresses. Take care.
