“The greatest discovery of the 20th Century is that our attitude of mind determines our quality of life, not circumstances.” – William James
My interview is up over at CureTalk.
Thank you Karen. It’s hard to believe I’ve been blogging this long and yet it feels good that Dave and I are still plugging along. 🙂
Thank you Priya for including me in your interview series. It was enjoyable.
Lori, it was a pleasure to connect with you and thanks for taking part in our Multiple Myeloma interview program. Priya
dear lori,
the quote about what determines quality of life was a great lead in to your cure talk interview post. your responses to the excellent questions posed with regard to MM staging, dave’s journey through treatment, all the foibles cgs can encounter witgh your personal experiences that are illustrative of same, and getting to the place where a discussion of plan b are superbly expressed. and what you had to say about the difficulties MM patients encounter with side effects of medications, then more meds taken to relieve those side effects – truly, …”a circular story” , will resonate with so many patients and cgs alike. and as always, your deep compassion, and desire to encourage and support others shines throughout each topic.
people who struggle on this journey often need solid information; but they also need to be able to say -” hey, she’s saying exactly what we are going through”, and feel that they are being validated and offered understanding from someone who truly cares. for nearly 4 years, you have poured out such caring and the desire to share your’s and dave’s journey to help other’s. congratulations and thank you for continuing to do so in this most informative and deeply empathetic interview. love and hugs, dear friend!
