Lost my dad to MM

Hello, I've been lurking on this sub ever since we learned of my dad's diagnosis with MM 11 months ago. I was so scared to learn he had cancer but reading this sub helped a lot and gave me hope that he can get through it.

He did everything right and was doing so well. He was scheduled for his transplant in Mid April but a week before he was not feeling well. He had severe leg pain and was admitted into the hospital. Well, they found out the MM had spread into his lungs which is apparently a very rare case. Like one in a million rare. His medical team tried everything they could but he was not getting better. He slowly declined.

On 5/8/24, he passed less than 24 hours after being put on a ventilator. It was awful to see that. I was there with my mother as he passed. I just hope he wasn't in pain. I hope he wasn't scared. He was so hopeful that he could beat this terrible disease. I dont know what went wrong. I thought we had more time. But our journey ended abruptly.

He was only 60. Just shy of his 61st birthday. The youngest of four siblings. Its not freaking fair. He still had so much to offer to the world.

I'm truly sorry for anyone who is going through this disease or seeing a loved one with it. Keep fighting.
