Hi, my husband has myeloma and we are currently in cycle 3 of chemo and hopefully he will then get a stem cell transplant. All is going well. However I am feeling considerably lonely. As everyone will relate your world does that full 180 and it’s horrendous. The 30 day novelty factor has worn off for family and friends and I find myself increasingly by myself. The odd phone call I reply with all is well. I don’t want people to feel I’m guilt tripping them if I say anything more. I just don’t know who to talk too. X
