David’s story

Dad was a strong, fit and healthy 71 year old husband, father , grandfather, brother and uncle. He had “ a bit of back ache” in November 2021, which we thought was down to being tall and getting a bit older. April 2022 the back ache had not got better.  It wasn’t until Dad had a routine blood test 13th June  for his blood pressure tablets that Dad was told he blood results suggested he may have Myeloma. 

On the 28th of June at 2am Dad was rushed to hospital by ambulance after a phone call from the blood laboratory told him his Calcium in the blood was dangerously high. Dad was diagnosed with Myeloma by that evening.

The next day Dad started Chemo- he had hope in his eyes - he wanted to fight - “let’s kill the cancer “he said

That night Dad had a heart attack 

Dad wasn’t given a fair chance to fight because his diagnosis was too late. 

Dad was heroic throughout, only thinking of us all.

 This fight isn’t over.
