Multiple Myeloma Support Group

I never thought I would find site like this, after months of searching for something like it on another search engine.

I just want to express my gratitude. My father was diagnosed with MM last summer, and it was such a shock and such a horror to everyone in my family. Life just stopped at that point. Everything changed. It's like there's no going back.

We have all dropped everything and are trying to do anything we can to help. My mother is the primary caregiver, and she has been so brave, courageous and so selfless.

I know this sounds selfish, but it's getting to me too, although it's ridiculous.

I'm very close to my father. We worked together, and recently had to shut our business down. There's an emptiness that hurts.

I've also noticed that recently, although it is out of character for me, I've been engaging in some self-destructive habits. I'm ashamed of it, and I want to stop.

There's more, but this is my first post. Best to just introduce myself and do more listening than talking.

Multiple Myeloma is an evil disease.
