“My family started preparing for my funeral when I told them I had cancer.”

Dom had been unwell for a long time. After months of going to the doctor for debilitating fatigue and bone pain, he finally had an answer: multiple myeloma, an incurable and often aggressive form of blood cancer.  

Each day in Australia, six more people like Dom receive this life-altering news, their worlds forever changed as they face an uncertain future and the reality of lifelong treatment. 

Like many others, he was given just five years to live – if he were lucky. But after a successful stem cell transplant, clinical trial and countless therapies, he’s still here 10 years later, celebrating another Christmas with his loved ones.
