Re: Tom Brokaw (74) has multiple meyloma

My brother died this past August from this cancer, he had just completed an experimental procedure when he passed away. I wish Mr. Brokaw well in his treatments.

Re: Tom Brokaw (74) has multiple meyloma

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad Seattlegirl.....and your brother, Jane. {#emotions_dlg.crying} It's a long, long haul, that disease.

Looks like there may be more that unites us here than divides us, after all........

It was unexpected and he never complained about it. I hope your Mom and your Dad Seattlegirl did not suffer before they passed away.

My heart goes out to all of you who have lost loved ones to cancer.

Except for the long standing here and my brother's diagnosis, I didn't know much about it.

Re: Tom Brokaw (74) has multiple meyloma

Thanks to those sweet people who have expressed condolences to us. I must admit, I'm very happy that the Multiple Myeloma thread is here to support those who need it and to exchange help and information. However, I get a little feeling of sadness every time I see that there are so many posts. It's a difficult illness.

Yes, it is.
