Five years after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, I’m now in remission with no cancer detectable. It was a long hard fight, didn’t respond to chemotherapy at all the first year, but after two autologous stem cell transplants, a year of lenalidomide, and another year of immunotherapy, my life has turned around.
If you like Harold Budd, then you might like Jon Hassell, maybe? I’m thinking of albums like Aka Darbari Java or Dream Theory in Malaya, there are many more with a similar sound.
See a doctor, it could be any number of conditions.
I’ll mention multiple myeloma only because I have myeloma, and although I had long-bone pain and lytic lesions, I was lucky that I didn’t have back pain.
I’m immune compromised. I wear an N95 mask whenever I go out. Sometimes to change things up, I’ll draw a smiley (or other) mouth on it with felt tip markers. Just need to work out how to disguise everything above the mask in a way that doesn’t look like a deliberate disguise.
