Site Description:
I am a U.S. citizen, and I live in Florence, Italy. In 1999 I was diagnosed with MGUS, which finally progressed to MM (multiple myeloma, or bone marrow cancer) in late 2005. I did a lot of research online, and came upon the curcumin-MM studies/clinical trial being carried out at the MD Anderson Cancer Research Center at the University of Texas. I have been on 8 grams of curcumin for more than a year now, and for the first time since 1999 my IgG count has stopped increasing with every blood test. My cancer is inactive (smoldering myeloma) now, and stable. The focus of my blog will be on my personal experience with MM and curcumin. However, I will also write about other alternative treatments with which I have direct experience or that look particularly promising. I will also talk about my life here, nutrition, the importance of humor and many other topics. I hope to reach other cancer patients and curcumin-takers in the quest for my own treatment.
