Ask Gary
Hi Gary,
I so appreciate the work you do.
My husband has just been diagnosed with multiple
myeloma. When I read that your father suffered
from the same disease, I thought you might have some
words of counsel and advice for us. I’d
appreciate anything you have to share.
Many thanks,
L.M.
Dear L.M.,
I’m so sorry to hear about your
husband. I would say that the success rate for
multiple myeloma these days is so very much better
than when my dad had it. Bone marrow surgery is also
much better.
You might want to contact
The Multiple
Myeloma Foundation or the
International Myeloma Foundation. These
organizations probably can tell you who is doing the
best work in the field.
You need to reach out to others,
do research, don’t take an easy no for an answer
from anyone, keep your energy up, and don’t forget
the power of humor.
Please keep in touch.
Gary
Dear Gary,
I so deeply appreciate your
response. Thank you for making me aware of
these sites. Your comment, too, about humor is
so appropriate. It is what is keeping my
husband going.
Thank you, too, for the invitation
to stay in touch. I’ll take you up on that.
L.M.
Do you have a
question to ask Gary?
