Hello my name is Mariana and my children's father was diagnosed with Waldenstrom this month. He is only 39 years old and will turn 40 this June. I pretty much just want to know what I have to look forward to. Like what should I look for before I decide to take him to the hospital? What should I expect? What can I do to help? Mind you I am just the baby Momma. He does stay with me and my boys a lot because he has no wife nor do I have a husband so I help him with what I can. So far he has been having non stop nose bleeds and blood clots coming out all the time. He just started his chemo today. All in all I just want to know how I can help him. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Marianna, welcome. You're so wise to reach out to other patients and caregivers familiar with Waldenstrom to get a picture of what you might suspect as the father of your beautiful children deals with the disease and treatments. Let me bring in some other members who can offer their experiences, tips and support like @jam5 @loribmt @puffwithfluff @ejrquast @patio29dadio @connie72 and others.

How did chemo go today? How is he feeling?
