Dealing with multiple myeloma and remission

I found out I had multiple myeloma in 2019. I went through three years of therapy, injections, pills, hours at the local VA Clinic. It had challenges, and I accepted and started doing things I hadn’t dreamed of before. It seemed at first, my family took it harder than me. My wife and kids were asking, “what are you going to do “? Well first. I drug a mountain bike out of my pole barn, that my son-in-law had given me four or five years before that, which I never took up to riding. With many trails around Columbus, Ohio, I would throw my bike in my truck, and venture to one of the trails. I rode maybe a half mile for a while, then the next thing that surprised everyone, including myself, I was riding trails between cities and small towns, out through the countryside’s, until I was doing 30 to 40 miles, three or four days a week. All was well till the virus hit my wife and I in late 2021. It gave me some breathing issues which took my bike riding away. I’ve gotten down a few times, though I haven’t told anyone, even though I’ve been in remission for over three years to date. If you find out you have cancer, don’t drop everything and think it’s the end of the world. Take a good look at yourself and find a venture you’ve thought of doing, a dream you’ve wanted to indulge yourself to do, and never have, and try your best to move past all those obstacles that have been placed before you. Sometimes it takes some doing, but if you try over and over, you can make it happen. Recently I’ve had some changes in my blood test that’s put me on the borderline of having to start chemo again, but after all these years of the ups and downs, finally I can fight the battle, and will continue, even though I have my lows.
