Early in August, Larry Lammers was diagnosed with mutiple myeloma, a malignant condition of the bone marrow. He is undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

They no doubt discovered Rockport 35 RV Park through Larry's sister, Karen Foslien. Karen and Bob were long-time winter residents at the park until cancer ended her life a few years ago. Bob continues wintering at the park.
A former co-worker, neighbor, and good friend of mine, Don Wright, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma ten years ago. Don's a smart guy and tackled the disease with intelligence and vigor. Currently, he's the "poster boy" for an experimental treatment. More significantly, possibly, is the fact that he recently completed running at least one marathon in each of the 50 states!
Don lives in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. He has a blog in which he describes some of the things he's doing to, hopefully, minimize the progression of the disease. So far, everything he, his family, and the medical community are doing has helped him "make every day a masterpiece."
His suggestions for nutrition are not only for those with multiple myeloma but for everyone who eats, says Don. If you'd like to read what he has to say, check out this blog of his: http://myelomahope.blogspot.com/
Some parts might be more technical than you care for, but that's because Don has the "handicap" of being an engineer!
His blog also has lots of other links from which one can learn more of the disease. And a couple of links from CNN while Don was interviewed at races!
We know that Rockport 35 RV Park has lots of wonderful people who will remember Larry and his family in their prayers. May I suggest that you also include Don and his family.
So sorry to hear about Larry. Sherry and Larry are such a sweet couple. They will be remembered in our prayers.
