Cheryle,
I feel for you. When depression hits, it can be hard to get out of. What has helped me is my faith in God. I’ve been blessed with many miracles where my children’s lives have been saved, and doctors call it a miracle. Trust, hope, joy, love and prayer are all the words I think of when I think of God, of Jesus. This trust will help me when it is my time to pass on to a new life with God. My cousin died after brain surgery. The doctors were finally able to resuscitate her, but during that short time, she saw Jesus. She said she did not want to leave heaven because it was so peaceful and full of love. I pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, which brings me peace. I prayed it while my mother was dying. It gave me hope for her. Do you have anyone helping support you through this time? I don’t really. I have a friend that lives across the country I talk to. That’s it and the MyMyelomaTeam! They are awesome!

I just read an article that said high calcium in the blood, which MM causes, can cause depression. Check with your doctor.
