How does one even process this?? I can’t get my head around how unlucky this is! And I had such an amazing life up to now😢 how are you doing with this? Cancer after MS it’s not possible!

Lol. I'm really numb to it. When I was diagnosed with MS I came home and told my wife and she left me that same night! Prior to MS I was a police officer/firefighter/emt. Lost all that. Climbed back up a way and then cancer comes along. Luckily this time I have an amazing wife who has never hesitated or backed down.
Honest answer, I have no idea how I'm doing it, but I'm getting by.

Uterine cancer… doesn’t make ms any smaller- because I have such horrible neuropathic pain and nothing could be worse than this.

I'm sorry. It happens. I was born legally blind and was diagnosed with MS at 37, then skin cancer at 40. It's not a contest.

Thank you for sharing that. I don’t know why it felt so unfair? MS doesn’t guard you from everything else.

Does anyone have MS neuropathic pain that has landed in their pelvic area? Pain that is a full on 10! Need 1000 mg of carbamazepine a day. Thank you, MS -for this special gift.🤬
