    guys it sounds like multiple myeloma which is basically the worst of all blood cancers.  a friend of mine had it (now in remission) and I know this sounds extremely ridiculous but he tried chemo and radiation for several months and finally heard about apricot seeds and the B-17 found in them helping to fight cancer.  He ate like 24 Apricot seeds a day (Obviously in conjunction with radiation and chemo) and almost immediately started seeing results.  Now I know it could have been a number of things that helped him but you never know, at this point I would try anything. 
     
    BTW, the doctor still gives him a very slim chance to live past 5-8 years but he is fighting it with everything he has.

    Line mover,
         I'm sorry to hear about your condition. I wish their was something to say or do to change it for you but as we both know that isn't possiable.  I read all  the posts and their is alot of great messages so with out being redundent I hope the best for you and your family. If you can use covers to  bring a smile to your face even if it is just for a fleeting moment then I think we would all like you to keep us updated

    linemover, can't even begin to imagine what you and your loved ones are going through and no one in this world deserves shit like that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
     
    As mentioned by a few posts above, I agree that you fight and fight like a mofo. You have nothing to lose and all to gain. I had a good friend of mine who passed on because of breast cancer. She felt very defeated when going through treatment for something she thought was a lost cause. Although, she did not beat it, one thing I encouraged her and to you is that even though you may not beat it, but if the cancer researchers and labs learn at least one inkling of information or data that would help beat cancer, then her treatments and experiences makes it all worthwile. Who knows, maybe here treatments will be the first step for finding a cure.
     
    Btw, she received treatment from Dana Farber and from what I saw and heard, that place is 1st class in knowledge and customer service to patients and families.
     
    Wish you the best my friend.

    Jimmy V Closing:I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you're emotions going. To be enthusiastic every day and [as] Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Nothing great could be accomplished without enthusiasm" -- to keep your dreams alive in spite of problems whatever you have. The ability to be able to work hard for your dreams to come true, to become a reality.

    Now, I look at where I am now and I know what I wanna to do. What I would like to be able to do is to spend whatever time I have left and to give, and maybe some hope to others. Alright, Arthur Ashe Foundation is a wonderful thing, and AIDS, the amount of money pouring in for AIDS is not enough, but it is significant. But if I told you it's ten times the amount that goes in for cancer research. I'll also tell you that five hundred thousand people will die this year of cancer. And I'll also tell you that one in every four will be afflicted with this disease, and yet, somehow, we seem to have put it in a little bit of the background. I want to bring it back on the front table. We need your help. I need your help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important.

    And ESPN has been so kind to support me in this endeavor and allow me to announce tonight, that with ESPN's support, which means what? Their money and their dollars and they're helping me -- we are starting the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. And its motto is "Don't give up, don't ever give up." And that's what I'm going to try to do every minute that I have left. I will thank God for the day and the moment I have. And if you see me, smile and maybe give me a hug. That's important to me too. But try if you can to support, whether it's AIDS or the cancer foundation, so that someone else might survive, might prosper, and might actually be cured of this dreaded disease. I can't thank ESPN enough for allowing this to happen. And I'm going to work as hard as I can...for cancer research and hopefully, maybe, we'll have some cures and some breakthroughs. I'd like to think I'm going to fight my brains out to be back here again next year for the Arthur Ashe recipient. I want to give it next year!

    I know, I gotta go, I gotta go, and I got one last thing and I said it before, and I'm gonna say it again: Cancer can take away all my physical ability. It cannot touch my mind; it cannot touch my heart; and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.

    I thank you and God bless you all.Line Mover "Don't Give up, Don't ever Give Up"
