I am very sorry for your loss Carrie.

Thank you for being so open and willing to describe your experience of your mother's final days.

My father has multiple myeloma and I haven't really given much thought to how he is going to die until today. I hope he still has a lot of time left, but we got some upsetting news at his doctor's appointment today and I found myself asking this question in my mind.

I wish you well as you heal from the loss of your mother.

Wow, I am so sorry for everyone's loss. I am so grateful for the caregivers in our lives. My husband has been my BFF through every point of my myeloma journey. We could not make it so long or so well with out the car givers in our lives so from a patient's point of view.

(((Hugs))) & Thank you for all you do for your loved one's with multiple myeloma. I know how much you give up of your own life to be there for a person with cancer. Thank you also for sharing your stories and experiences as hard as that might be. It is actually hard to hear as well. I am one of those people that always has questions and wants to know what to expect even if it's down the road hopefully a long time yet for me.

I'm still feeling good myself but am no longer in remission after my stem cell transplant that I had 2 years ago last November. Getting ready to start my next page of my journey with more treatments. But...I was diagnosed 8 years ago and feel blessed to have done so good for sooo long. And, I feel like I still have a lot of good years left in me.

Thanks again everyone for sharing your stories. Love to all of you both patients & caregivers.
