Cover Bad News, Good Moments

Life with and despite of incurable cancer

By Pauli Löija

In June 2019, Pauli Löija, who was immobile due to pain, was taken by ambulance to hospital where metastases of cancer were found in his spine. A week later, the diagnosis was revealed: multiple myeloma, an incurable plasma cell cancer.

Heavy cancer treatments were started immediately and at the end of the year a stem cell transplant was performed, followed by continued drug treatments. The doctor did not promise many years of life, but despite this, a positive attitude has carried Pauli forward, one day at a time.

Pauli’s story is an account of life with a serious illness. It includes lots of joys, friends, hobbies, cancer treatments, water damage at home and a corona pandemic. Despite the adversity, he has found beautiful and joyful things in every day. Life goes on!
