It must be said that nobody would ever say a person with multiple myeloma died of the flu. You'd say they died of cancer. Only with Covid do we assign the cause of death to the respiratory illness, not the cancer that ravaged the immune system that enabled the respiratory illness to become fatal.
This is accurate. With Multiple Myeloma he had a definite period of life left - max 18 months from diagnosis. Probably less because of his age. The only uncertainty was that something was going to come along and kill him, soon. It turned out to be COVID because it' s the worst thing curculating for blood cancer victims.
There's also a very good chance the only reason he survived until now, instead of dying in March, was the vaccine. For families of MM sufferers, those 7 months make a huge difference.
