My cousin name is Tiffany Cooper she is Married to Steven Cooper and they have two children Kaemon and Brooke.

She was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma 2 weeks ago. She went to get checked out due to rib pain and a cough. With in 10 days she lost 12 lbs. so they ran some labs which showed her kidneys were only running at 5%. With her rib pain so bad they did a x-ray to see that one of her Ribs were Fractured. After more scans, biopsies and labs they have determined that her bone Marrow was 90% cancer and she needed dialysis to help heal her kidneys before chemo and radiation.

The 2 weeks she has had Three teeth pulled and a toe nail removed so all possible sources infection are taking care of before treatment can start. Dialysis has taking its toll with hard days and good days. Her immediate family is trying to help as much as possible, but her husband is on full disability due to 3 back surgeries a forth needed an neuropathy of both his lower extremities. So there is only so much he can do.

We were just informed recently the dialysis is not helping and she is on a transplant list now and will be starting dialysis at home for 6-8 every night to help.

Today I was told she is on her way to Cleveland clinic where she will need a blood transfusion due to her hemoglobin only at 7. So all prayers an help are needed for this drastic change and scary start to this new journey
