My dad died from multiple myeloma last year. Before that, he was working at a shop where he used a lot of chemical paint. He always had a mask on when he painted, but I don't think that was enough. When I went to work with him, that paint almost gave me headaches every time I went near it. I think the paint might have given him the cancer. There is an article I read that had something about people that worked around chemicals and got cancer.
"suspected causes of multiple myeloma include viral infection, radiation and chemicals."

after reading that I was almost sure he got cancer from the paint. Does anyone else think that could be a possibility?

Thank you for your reply. 
i'm sorry about your mother. >.< I hope everything is going okay for you =(. Its a really hard thing to go through. I spent a lot of time with my dad before he died. He didn't want to accept that he had cancer and kept on working at his job. As time went by, he began to get weaker. I remember him going into the hospital a lot. The last time I saw him I remember thinking that I would get to see him again, but I didn't get to see him again. It was terrible. I hate cancer. I wish they would just find a cure for it so nobody else would have to suffer.
