How do I cope with brain tumors from metastatic cancer?

Grand Rising! We are here! We are thriving! With self love and self care and positive thinking and building a foundation of supporters who care for us. Living with metastatic breast cancer for 2 years and 6 months. I've had three treatments. My tumor Markers have gone up and down. As of the present time, I've just found out that I have 5 mm and 3 mm tumors on my brain. It's very overwhelming. It's no joke feeling like this. I don't know anymore. But I build my life with this illness of strength, peace, health and well-being. Got rid of all the things that brung my life down. So I can deal with this illness in my life. I'm proud of myself I must say. I've come a long way. Having a illness like this makes you think of your childhood and things that you have gone through. You go all the way from the beginning to the present time in healing. It's rough and it's hard and it's a lot to do. But we are still here. All is well to all of us. 🌷

For those of you whom wish to participate I’ll make it easy as possible.. It doesn’t matter what religion you belong to or how much faith you have just add your name in the comment section below and you’ll be included in my daily prayers.. Along with the entire community..🙏 If each and everyone of us every morning prays together for our salvation and Christ’s intervention in these times I’m positive our prayers will be heard.. We have nothing to lose or fear and EVERYTHING TO GAIN.. Through Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Amen.. Starting tomorrow morning Friday July 10th 2026 will be the beginning of my journey in faith for everyone of us.. A simple Our Farther as Jesus stated in Matthew 6; 5-15 is what I’ll be praying. As far as I know it’s the Only Prayer ever given to us by Jesus in the bible.. I hope Everyone has a Blessed day ahead.. God Bless You All Thomas O

What are the early warning signs of multiple myeloma relapse?

I was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma and I'm currently on Revlimid (lenalidomide) and Darzalex. I just read about how multiple myeloma typically follows cycles of remission and relapse, and I'm trying to learn what warning signs to watch for. The article mentioned things like new bone pain that doesn't improve with rest, rising M-protein levels, unusual fatigue, and frequent infections as potential early signs of progression. Since I'm new to this, I'd love to hear from others who have been through this journey about what to expect and how you've managed. • What early warning signs did you notice during your experience with multiple myeloma? • Any tips for staying on top of lab results or communicating concerns with your care team?

How do I cope with dismissive doctors during cancer treatment?

I have experienced negative interactions with medical staff as if I didn't exist. Totally turned head as I was speaking to him. If I wasn't so concerned about the nodules in my throat which were diagnosed as Hurthle Cell Carcinoma I would have cancelled surgery all together.
