Dear David,
I am so sorry for your loss of your niece. It must have been so hard.
I think you are correct – with multiple myeloma, my dad was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been through the worst in terms of side effects of the drug, he has been through Velcade, Mephalan, Thalidomide, Bendamustine and one other all of which have been discontinued due to the side effects. he has been in hospital for the last 10 days with a lung infection which he has barely fought back from. Although we dont feel he will not die within the next 2 weeks, the feeling of inevitability is so hard to bear. His brother was diagnosed with a very rare brain tumour in January and we buried him in August following surgery and a very slow but inevitable death.
My dad is my rock – without him I simply dont exist (I am 47 with 3 children and a husband who doesnt do children!)
Dear David, I hope and pray that your illness is successful in giving you a great quality of life. Everyone deserves a chance. My dad never drank, smoked or ever said a bad word about anyone – he lives life to the full and give of his time to everyone but himself. Everyone deserves this chance in life.
Best regards
Susan
