Weekly Poll - Current Age

by Beacon Staff on Wed Aug 22, 2012 10:26 am

Yes, it's that time of the week again ... Time for another Myeloma Beacon "Weekly Poll."

This week's question is open to all Beacon readers and is about your current age.

That's it. No other clarifications seem necessary. We're keeping it simple this week.

As always, feel free to post comments, thoughts, or feedback in the space below. They can be very useful to other readers (whether for information or just entertainment purposes).

Just turned 70 yesterday, so that's what I checked - I'm a five year survivor though.

Diagnoised at age 56 in 2005 with last stage IGD multiple myeloma and was in kidney failure at the time. I had a stem cell transplant in 2006 and have just completed cycle one of a phase II clinical trial. Counting my blessings and focusing on remaining hopeful. Blessings to each of you.
