He did some chemo but we stopped because he is 80 and in Remission . The Chemo was a little rough. He is ok but sleeps alot . My mom is taking care of him. My brother and family in san deigo and so is my parents. Im across the world from them !! I really have no idea how much time Dad has !! I visited a while ago, but am in U.a.e. with my family. I feel I should go back. Im worried! My teen son is telling me they are all fine , and I should go and help my mom. I love them. My son is great. He saw me in tears today, and was telling me to go and help Grandma ! I know his Cancer is rare and maybe not alot of time? I dont know what to do. My Husband is so supportive. He tells me to go when I need to. (He is very busy but a great Dad). What to do ?

I think you know what you should do, right? You should get home. While some people can beat these things, you should take the oppurtunity to go and see him, even for a short while, say goodbyes face to face, just in case you don't get another chance, let him hold you in his arms and hear his voice. He may indeed have many years left in him but you would regret not going back if something happened, right? Get on a plane and hold his hand as he held yours for all the years. Good luck, it is your decision to make at the end of the day.

You should go home before you no longer have that option. My Nana was dying of brain cancer when I was 14 and my sister was 12. We were perfectly fine living without her for 3 weeks. We missed her, and maybe ate a little more poorly than usual, but in the end, she appreciated being able to spend those last days with her mom.
Go.

GO -
once he is gone, you don't want any "shoulda couldas
If you look at Myeloma.org - you wil see a risk factor matrix for MM - and can get an idea of how he will fdo, but 80 is old for MM
good luck,
