My husband was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in March 2015. It's been one very tough ride.
He was in denial for most of the time. The meds made him feel like he was fine. Then the meds stopped working and his blast cells grew at an alarming rate.
He was hospitalized on 20 February 2018 and given chemo. Initially, he was to come home for a few days after this first session and then return for another chemo session. He would have been prepped for the SCT soon after this second session.
He developed Trichosporiosis in his lungs and they were giving him antibiotics to treat this and he actually was doing well as his white blood cells started to pick up, albeit very slowly.
Then he developed a second fungal lung infection called Mucormycosis. He stood no chance and passed away on 25 April 2018.
I am devastated. I've lost my best friend.
It's mostly still so unreal.
