Many of you maybe wondering where my blog and I have disappeared for the past few weeks. Yes, we did go AWOL but this is because I got diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Suddenly the world as I knew it changed forever. It was a double whammy with Covid having taken centerstage. I shared the news on Facebook and I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love that came my way from the four corners of the world. It gave me the will to fight and beat the beast. My life partner of more than four decades and my family took matters in their hand and soon we had a roadmap to follow.
Today I have had two chemos and have 12 more to go. Then the situation will be assessed. It is a long run.
The pain at times is excruciating. At times my brain feels muddled and mushy. I have been away from my computer for all these days. It is only today that I mustered the courage to come and sit at the computer and write a few words to all of you from Delhi with love.
It’s lovely to see you writing again Anou. Thinking of you- lots of hugs and love. Xxx
Was waiting for you to write, Anoudi.
Love you, and with you always.
It’s so good to see you writing again, Anoudi. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Anou, I am wishing you all the best from halfway around the world. If anyone can beat the beast, it will be you! May the treatments go easy on you and be stunningly effective. Blogging, as you’re able, can help. I had cancer, a decade ago, and the ability to laugh, cry, and rage with friends – including those I’ve never met – was truly helpful. Kick MM in the you-know-what, Anou.
