My dad died from multiple myeloma last
year. Before that, he was working at a
shop where he used a lot of chemical
paint. He always had a mask on when he
painted, but I don't think that was
enough. When I went to work with him,
that paint almost gave me headaches every
time I went near it. I think the paint
might have given him the cancer. There is
an article I read that had something about
people that worked around chemicals and
got cancer.
"suspected causes of multiple myeloma
include viral infection, radiation and
chemicals."

after reading that I was almost sure he
got cancer from the paint. Does anyone
else think that could be a possibility?

My mother was diagnosis in june of 04 and

and weak. After your father was diagnosis
w/the cancer what was his quality of life
like and the length of time that you had
w/him. My mother is taking chemo and the
cancer seems to be responding relatively
well. Again please accept my condolences.

Thank you for your reply.
i'm sorry about your mother. >.< I
hope everything is going okay for you =(.
Its a really hard thing to go through.
I spent a lot of time with my dad before
he died. He didn't want to accept that
he had cancer and kept on working at his
job. As time went by, he began to get
weaker. I remember him going into the
hospital a lot. The last time I saw him
I remember thinking that I would get to
see him again, but I didn't get to see him
again. It was terrible. I hate cancer.
I wish they would just find a cure for
it so nobody else would have to suffer.
