Just over two years ago,I was 42, I was diagnosed with mgus, at first the doctor thought I had bone cancer and only had a short time to live, but after extensive tests, I was told I had mgus, my dotors still can't believe the diagnoses as my paraprotein level was 23. At first I was annoyed that I had to go every three months for blood tests, but have realized that I at least have a heads up, if it does turn into anything more sinister.
I have three children, 13, 10 and 8, our lives were quite normal dealing with knowing that at any time it might change. Then 6 weeks ago, my life turned upside down, my beloved husband, who has been my strength through all this, had a massive heart attack one morning and was taken from our family. He was my life and now I have to deal with all this alone, I don't know what I will do,
if this does turn into cancer, my children have had to deal with the worst thing that could happen and they all know that mum could also get very ill. This is the worst time of my life and tomorrow I have my next check up, part of me wants it to be fine, and part of me doesn't. I am wondering if there is someone else in a similar situation, if so, tell me how you cope with each day.
