Hello @nrdl2879 My goodness, when it rains it pours. You certainly didn’t need to add more to your stress level. It is encouraging that your husband is doing well on the experimental drug for his lung cancer.
However, now you have been diagnosed with a bone marrow cancer. If it’s any consolation, I had a very aggressive bone marrow cancer 6 years ago and in full remission. There may be different treatment options available depending the type of cancer you have.
It would be helpful if you could tell me a little more about your diagnosis. I had AML, which is a form of leukemia. There are countless members here who have had varying types of blood cancers and conditions and I’d like to connect you with the right group! It can really take the loneliness out of a diagnosis to be able to talk with someone who understands what you’re going through.
Do you have a firm diagnosis? What is the medication you’re taking for treatment?

I have myelodysplastic syndrome ( MDS). I will be starting on Lenalidomide hopefully next week. Caught it early
