This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Sounds like your dad... by Wass
...had the same type of myeloma I have. Mine is fairly rare, in that it is caused by the kappa light chain, not the lambda light chain, which is more common and more dangerous. The heavy chains can also cause myeloma as well. I am just hoping the stem cell transplant worked (I don't want to go through that again) and I stay in remission long enough for medical advances to find another way to beat it down. My next oncology appointment is coming up and I am a bit concerned about some things that don't seem quite right.
