And now for something a little bit different...

So, only 1 bit of news to report and that is that the paraprotein has nudged slightly up from 2.8 to 3.2 since the last check.
Doctors not worried. (in front of me in any case!)
I'm getting checked-out every 2 months now so lets see what happens in October.
Now ordinarily I'd be typing away with updates and my latest meanderings; but this month is a bit special.
1 year ago this Sunday 1st September, 10'000 Donors was born.
So to celebrate I've made a little film for you all.
I hope you feel as proud of what we have all achieved as I do.
Words don't do justice to how I feel about your unwavering support, friendship and love.
Thank you to each and everyone of you who are part of team 10'000 Donors.
I am humbled by you all.
100'000 is totally doable! Look at what we have done in 12 short months!
So just think, this time next year...

Just saw this update about the paraprotein rising to 3.2, glad the docs aren't worried! It’s cool to see the 1-year anniversary vibe for 10,000 Donors; reminds me of sites where you can play scritchy scratchy online for fun, which is a nice break from medical talk.
This was a delight to read from start to finish. You have a way of turning a confusing topic into something that just makes sense. I found myself nodding along the whole way through. yaay for content that's as enjoyable as it is helpful. I've already shared it with a couple of colleagues. Keep up the fantastic work.
Finding a web blog that covers this subject with genuine substance is harder than it should be. Most of what comes up is either too shallow or too narrow to be genuinely useful. This post manages both depth and breadth without losing the reader along the way. I came in with a few specific questions and left with all of them answered plus some useful context I hadn't considered. That's a consistently good outcome from a single piece of content. I've forwarded the link to three people already. Really well put together.
I came across this post through a share in a community I'm part of and it delivered on the recommendation. This online blog has a way of presenting information that feels natural rather than formulaic. Nothing here reads like it was written to a template. The ideas flow in a way that makes the whole thing enjoyable to read, not just informative. I've already forwarded it to two people dealing with similar questions. Good find.
Finding blog content on this subject that goes beyond surface-level coverage without losing the reader along the way is harder than it sounds. This post manages it consistently. The balance between depth and readability is well-judged throughout and nothing gets oversimplified just to make it easier. I appreciated the honest handling of the more nuanced aspects of the topic rather than the hedging you often get elsewhere. A few ideas here will influence how I approach this subject going forward. Good work.
