Hey Kerry That my Girl Is Normal, I am the one with MM so am being looked after by my lovely wife Elaine (the young bride) I was told in Jan 2009 that I had Myeloma, done the CTD then the SCT (all good now) BUT Prior to my MM Elaine (the young bride) was told in Jan 2008 (yep one year prior to mine to the day near as) that she had breast cancer 🙁 , Now that I have to tell you was and is worst than me having MM being the Carer is harder than being tha patiant is what am trying to say.
How do we cope??? well we do we have to, yes Elaine is now four years clear of Cancer and that makes me three 😎 its not a good road to go down but we had to and we are doing it as best we can, so I feel for you with what you are having to go through BUT Kerry look at it this way we Have Myeloma and yes its Terminal but our Dr's are treating us to help us live longer lifes I know people that have passed away before me and they didn't know they were Ill, we do so we are getting looked after yes its MM but its treatable, you say Melvin is strong and yes I beleive that as I am but when I was in your position (the carer) I was the same as you I worried about this and that till I decided I must work harder looking after Elaine, you have Melvin and the Kids make them and you the priority and the other bits and bobs will fall into place.
Honest a Rant is Good for you 😀 and no need for sorry's we are all here for you and your Family. Be Strong and keep on ranting and venting it is good for you.
Love and Hugs to you all in this hard road to remission.
