Description
It's in the blood. Multiple Myeloma,is the cancer that has no cure. I am living with my daughter's story, actually, my son-in-law's, who is living it every moment of every day. I have watched my daughter as she holds back tears in front of strangers, and lets the floodgates open sittings alone in the dark at night. She, as many of us do, anticipate their loved one dwindling before their eyes, wasting away in inches in the short lifespan drafted out by doctors' pens. But every day they hold the faith. Every day they praise God for His goodness, and every day they find a treasure in the family, community, and faith they hold so dear. Join us in their journey to find a cure. The stories here are original and real. They are the faces of Myeloma cancer. They are raw and unedited, and offer a unique look into the daily lives of the victims of this terrible disease. In the words of Tamara, as she addresses her support group, and sums up a moment of her life as a Multiple Myeloma Cancer caregiver:
"Our group has made me quite sad over these past few weeks. My heart has broken for each of the losses and then I have become increasingly fearful even in the face of hope for my family. My husband was diagnosed only two years into our marriage and sometimes I wonder if the dance has been worth the pain? Have we even had a chance to dance at all? If I was to be completely honest in this very moment......I could really have sat it all out; the pain and the dance.... All of it."
But the hope remains:
" Be thankful, everyone. Today is a good day." WT
