Nick’s Myeloma Blog
Nick Van Dyk, the 41-year old guitarist for the progressive metal band Redemption, maintains a personal blog to track the progress of his multiple myeloma. Diagnosed in late 2008, Nick updates his blog several times a week with updates on his condition. Most of Nick’s entries recount appointments with his doctor and his experience with two autologous stem cell transplants.
Nick has written up a long, but very informative, summary of his battle with myeloma called “How I Spent My Summer Vacation.” It has some great insights into what multiple myeloma is, what the different treatment options are, and what actually happens when you start treatment for the disease. Highly recommended.
