My husband’s back pain turned out to be deadly cancer – learn the signs - New York Post

Now almost a year after Jeremy died, Kerry said that the back pain in 2015 could have been the start of Jeremy’s blood cancer battle.

She said the couple ran the Dubai half marathon on their wedding anniversary in December 2017 and Jeremy seemed fine.

Just after the marathon, Kerry said that Jeremy went off to play golf for the day.

Doctors thought he had just sprained some muscles, but the pain continued into the New Year so Jeremy had blood tests and MRI scans.

“He had a lump on his collar bone, pain in his arms, shoulders and had loads of MRIs that hadn’t picked up anything major,” Kerry said.

I remember the words that came out of my mouth, I said ‘we’ll take that, it’s not like it’s leukaemia or something’.

Another hospital MRI then discovered gaping holes in his body and Kerry said it looked like the bone on his right arm had disappeared.

Kerry and her girls are now raising funds for blood cancer charity Myeloma UK and want others to be aware of the symptoms of the cancer, before it’s too late.
