My husband was diagnosed with MM in April 2021. This came about after he had Covid last December and decided to donate his plasma as he wanted to see if he had antibodies. Also at the time a request had been made for men over 60 to donate their plasma. A letter was sent to him from the blood donation centre advising him to contact his GP. From there on numerous tests were carried out and the diagnosis was confirmed. He had had no symptoms, was/is super fit and we were knocked sideways.
Fortunately, it was caught early and that’s what we’re hanging onto
Our youngest daughter was due to get married in August of this year and my husband didn’t want to tell her or our oldest daughter until after the wedding. However, deep down we knew we had to tell them both and we wanted to tell them together. It was the hardest thing either of us have ever had to do. My husband broke down and I had to tell the girls and their partners.
Anyway, back to the present Husband had his stem cell harvested last week and we’re now waiting for a date for his transplant I’ve never felt so scared!
