Hi Caryn, my partner (41) has been battling multiple myeloma since 2013. He went into remission for a couple of months but the last 2 years has been a constant battle to get a chemo treatment that will keep it at bay. He is about to start on the last chemo treatment they have available at the moment having exhausted the other options for now. We've experienced all the ups and downs of the various treatments. Like you say some days you wouldn't know he was sick and other days he's barely out of bed. You never know which person you'll have with you on that day. As the person caring it is tough not being able to make any firm plans based on the day. If a treatment is working and having effect though this does improve so these are the times to make the most of if possible. I'm also in Adelaide so if you ever need to or want to talk please let me know.
