Hi
2 weeks ago today we were told that my husband of 35 years has myeloma.
He had been feeling tired for a while and the doctor decided to do his annual blood tests a month early. These showed up anaemia and kidney problems and we were told to go straight to the hospital.
The following day after lots of tests including a bone marrow biopsy, we were told what it was. We were so shocked and still are.
he had 6 days in hospital, had fluids and a blood transfusion and once his kidney function was sufficiently recovered he started chemo straight away.
he is now at home and we are trying to cope…he is very quiet and withdrawn, understandably, and I am anxious and tearful at times, but trying hard to be strong for him. It’s like be set adrift…so hard.
We have family, a daughter and son and a lovely son in law…my sister is very supportive, she has survived breast cancer and nursed a partner who died from lung cancer. So she has experience of patient and carer.
Our daughter is expecting our first Granddaughter in 3 weeks time, so we have something to really look forward to. I think it will really help.
so that’s us, I look forward to using this site for support and advice. Thanks for reading this,
