Nothing prepares you when your loved one goes through a battle that you have no control of. Chris, my partner, husband, and loving character of a man, has shown to me the courage that Larry chose not to fight, he knew the outcome, and did not want to extend the inevitable. I support body autonomy...your body your choice. I wasn't sure how Chris was going to get through the early diagnosis June 2022. But he did manage through - with a lot of pain, tolerance, and my terrible lack of empathy and impatience.
Note: I said to myself when the first words came out - Cancer? My internal mind was battling the thought of going through this again. But no single Cancer diagnosis is the same for all. As I watched Chris go through the spinal surgery, the rehabilitation, the physical therapy and then the 10 months of chemotherapy, I was amazed at his strong courage and quite frankly, "I'm not going to allow this to take me down" attitude.
It helps when someone is there to help you. I was. In March, the diagnosis was "you are in remission, now for the next step -- Bone Marrow Transplant" (BMT).
So in May, "we prepared" for the BMT. This process is not for sissies! He did it, he went through the steps..and we proceed with great caution. Here's to beating Multiple Myeloma. This video is a short example is how he maintained his sense of balance fighting this disease.
