I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on June 23rd. Started my first cycle of treatment July 2nd. Not long ago.

For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong. The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, squeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it. I was also tired of being tired all the time. And you just know when something is not kosher with your body. So when I sat there and got the news I didn’t react and I didn’t cry. I’m an actress, believe me, I can be dramatic. Not just then though.

First the facts.

Myeloma is incurable.

It’s a relatively rare cancer of the bone marrow that affects about 6000 Canadians. Every year, approximately 2100 more cases are diagnosed.

I’m a junior Member in many ways, having been diagnosed at 37, while the average age is 65. Makes the disease not quite as ‘Sexy’ as other Cancers. But we can change that.

In the industry I’m in, you could say, its motive alone that gives character to your acting.

So today with Velcade and, Revlimid and other promising new treatments in the pipeline our survival rates are improving. But only with an ever expanding toolbox of treatments and awareness can this Cancer be beat. So I’m going to do everything I can to wrench the spotlight onto Myeloma and Cancer Awareness.

I believe it can be cured.

Lisa Ray Instagram – My muse and precious friend @tishanidoshi has a collection of her sharp, exquisite, oh-so vital poetry coming out in a book called #GirlsAreComingOutoftheWoods. Tish and I met in Goa, in a place called #Elsewhere. I was immediately awash with nostalgia – though we’d never met before – and visions of tea and jam stained kitchen tables, where I imagined longer conversations. I think I felt like a scientist discovering the particle everyone denied, but you knew existed behind other forms. Here was a beautiful creature of no fixed identity with no fixed address, who travelled those invisible currents that most deny exist. She worked with words, she worked with her body, and most of all, with the grace that comes from opening to the tough questions of existence, struggling and holding emotions tenderly and close. Tish and I have made guest appearances in each other’s lives- she made it to my wedding with her lovely husband to be @carlopizzati – but perhaps unbeknownst to her, she’s actually always played a starring role in my inner life. She feels like a sister spirit and often writes the things I feel most deeply. I know she’ll keep producing beautiful work, and we’ll all be better for reading it. And quite naturally- her very being encourages me to get a move on following my own creative life in words. Let’s see how that goes.
Lisa Ray Instagram – On Steroids: you are HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. When Dr. Ahmed Galal, my Hematologist at PMH gave me my first cycle of meds, he capped his recommendation off with a charming gesture that meant: Beware of sweets. Well. Sweet things aren’t the only temptation. Every cycle of treatment, I’m on Dexamethasone for four days on, then four days off. Who knew it would turn me into a free range chicken, pecking the landscape freely. I find it distracting to walk down my street without stopping for a nibble at the Pie Shack, scoping some sushi or sampling up kimchi and eggs. I’m currently obsessed with pepperettes. I had a Gollum-worthy breakdown at the counter recently when I found out they haven’t been restocked. So I’ve always been fond of food, fought my battles with food (having been a model) and finally at 37 discovered balance. Until the steroids hit that is. Then I see a plate of Halibut and Fries and my stomach goes: THAT IS MINE. I know I should be doing other things. Like, uh…healing. But so far I’ve kept up a punishingly normal schedule, even during treatments. I take meetings, write, sign contracts, teach yoga, buy a house, begin to renovate said house. It’s the covert type ‘A’ in me. My day job of manufacturing an alternative reality for a role have also come in handy. But I know I’m not trusting the situation. I’m treating my battle like its inconvenient, managing the stage like a tyrannical Bollywood choreographer, but worst of all, I’m not looking it in the eye. I’m letting the situation tyranise my heart. I need to ask for help and support. They say, name it, then you can recognise it. Then deal with it. Yup. In time. Back to Life on Steroids. The wetsuit. It’s an entirely unique experience. When I’m on steroids, I can feel my skin stretch and expand and move in ways and sensations I haven’t felt before. It can be fascinating. I bloat up to three times my normal ’size’. It’s like putting on a wetsuit. Except its kinda permanent. Until you stop taking the ‘roids. Then I deflate again. Now all this time, I understand the meds are doing their work. I can feel it. I call it Gently Carbonating.Except it feels like I have fleas.
