Hi Brian
I am a cancer survivor,a rare type of Myloma probably exposed to airborn chemicals when I was a Police Officer,ya I went through all the therapy,lost my hair,several surgeries heavy duty radiation,feeling deathly sick.
I was given a 50 percent chance and I thought cool that,s better then 10 percent.
I go for testing every 6 months now,and the Dr says I may live a long time.
I live every day a little better,I try to be a kinder person,and dump off any little thing that used to be a bigger thing.
I didn,t want anyone to feel sorry for me and still don,t,but I do wish someone had been with me.
Your Girlfriends very lucky to have someone like you to be along side her,and lets hope everything will go fine.
Bonnie
