CANCER: Multiple Myeloma, Blood Cancer When Bob retired from the armed forces, he and his wife Annie decided to settle down and try to find the American dream in Wichita, Kansas. Things went well for a few years, and their two small antique businesses thrived. Then, on a warm summer day a stranger came out of nowhere, knocked on their door, and immediately transformed their lives into a clash of two worlds. The strangers name was blood cancer, full of chaos, evil, and the inhumane-----versus love, compassion, hope and faith. Through Bob, from his eyes as a loving caregiver, you'll see the trauma, feel the pain, hear the laughter, and share in the love of two people that fought until the end. Every 4 minutes one person is diagnosed with blood cancer~~Every 10 minutes one person dies of blood cancer. There is no pre screening for blood cancer. Because of Annie speaks to the importance of early detection, and gives some of the warning signs. Annie and I knew she was sick long before the doctors, and that's why we saw so many. If I knew then, what I know now, I believe she would be alive today. I didn't know the warning signs, and for whatever reason(s) the doctors didn't see them. They were clearly there. Educate yourself and pay attention to your body. Always remember: "If you love someone today, try to love them more tomorrow." "Life Happens""Because of Annie"
