  • Hi. I do feel that we have to deal with MM both physically and mentally. The diagnosis can be a traumatic thing to deal with.

    Personally, I was both physically and mentally out of it for the first few months after diagnosis in 2022. My son was brutally honest, telling me that I was feeling sorry for myself. That helped to snap me out of it.

    Currently I am in remission, enjoying life but taking life one day at a time.

    MM is always hanging over my head but I choose to get on with family life, work etc.
