My 55 yr old dad just recently started his induction treatment. He’s on week 2 and it’s absolutely kicking his ass. He’s so tired, like the type of exhaustion he can’t fight through. He’s sensitive to smells and nauseous over everything. Worst of all, his body is just in so much pain. It’s heartbreaking to see him like this. I know it’s typical for induction to be difficult but does it get better? I’m scared seeing him like this. He’s typically very stoic about everything but this is something he can’t be stoic about. Any words of encouragement? Anything I can do to help him? I feel terrible just watching him suffer

My dad has really really early stage multiple myeloma and I’m absolutely terrified. He is truly a really healthy guy and his bone density doesn’t have any problems from the scans, he also doesn’t have any kidney problems yet. It’s all looking as good as possible, and it was caught extremely early. I’m still utterly terrified and I feel like I’m gonna throw up. I just don’t know how to cope with this? It’s not even a particularly bad strain of cancer and everyone we’ve talked to is pretty certain he’s gonna be okay, but it’s just horrifying. I’m so scared. I’ve never felt this scared in my life. Please someone help me. He’s seeing an incredibly good oncologist who specializes in multiple myeloma and has literally 5 stars so he’s getting the best help humanely possible. I just need some encouragement
