It’s perfectly understandable to get a little freaked out when someone you love is going through cancer treatments. I had several members of my family pass away from cancer over my lifetime and it leaves a huge impact. But it doesn’t mean we will have the same outcome.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. Some forms of cancer can be difficult to diagnose or sometimes symptoms are subtle, until they aren’t. Extreme weight loss for no reason is one of those potential indicators.

However, William has Multiple Myeloma, it’s been diagnosed and being treated early. I know the nausea from the chemo is pretty awful but it will get better and he’ll get through this part. He’s losing weight now because of the chemo, not the cancer per se. You’re doing all the right things in getting calories in him. While it’s important to get protein in, many times my doctor, nurses and the dietitian told me ‘just get calories down, we don’t care what you eat”. So there was a lot of ice cream. ☺️

Do you or William have any questions about the transplant coming up using his own cells?
