In this episode Solomon Alexis shares what a 7-day break from chemotherapy really feels like — a pause where heavy drugs stop but protective medications continue, and ordinary life slowly returns. He recounts days of clearer thinking, returning to work, friends, small comforts, and the emotional relief of feeling human again.

Through candid moments and cautious optimism with upcoming treatment decisions, Solomon reflects on how these pauses restore energy and hope as he prepares for the next major step: a possible stem cell transplant.

Welcome to Through Myeloma Eyes. I am Solomon Alexis, and in this episode I share my journey living with multiple myeloma, focusing on the real side effects of treatment and the day-to-day reality they create.

I describe intense itching, weakness, balance issues, peripheral neuropathy, digestive problems, chemo brain, changes in blood levels, neutropenic fever, breathlessness, and cancer-related fatigue, and how I managed each with medication, diet, pacing, and support.

My message is simple: speak up about how you feel, celebrate small improvements, build coping strategies, and keep looking forward. If my story helps you feel less alone, please share it and follow for future episodes.
