While I was getting a bite, changing clothes, picking up Dave’s car, I get a phone call from a dear, dear friend, Marilyn G, MD, Internal Medicine Extraordinaire! Hudson, our son, had driven over to her house and told her what was going on. Her son, Taylor and Hudson went to pre-school together since they were 3 years old. She wanted me to know, that “Myeloma is no longer a death sentence! Dave can beat this! Tell me what you know…” We had a great conversation, and I said, “Marilyn, I would LOVE to talk to you more, but YOU really need to call Dave, NOW. He’s a mess, he’s not taking this well. He needs to hear YOU and all that you are telling me.” I gave her the number and we hung up.
Thank God for Marilyn. She was incredibly helpful and supportive and was often someone I called for a “sanity check” during this whole ordeal.
She made Dave promise NOT to go out on the Internet searching for information (which he was already doing of course!) She told him she would do some up to date research for him and extrapolate the data and call him tomorrow. He agreed.
