Charles Kelley Shares Plan to Feel Better During the Holiday Tour

“I always feel better when I get to talk to the doctor. And we got a little bit of a plan going in for the holidays to feel a little bit better during those Christmas shows on the weekends, because the weekends have been really hard for me. That’s kind of when the steroid runs out,” he explained. “So we got maybe a little plan around that.”

“The drugs are definitely pretty hard on your body. A lot of this cancer is inside of my bones and stuff in the marrow. And so I have full body aches a lot. It’s kind of constantly achy and really tired, but I do have my good days and my bad days,” he explained.

The Cleveland Clinic describes multiple myeloma as a condition in which “Multiple myeloma happens when healthy plasma cells become abnormal cells that multiply and produce abnormal proteins. This can cause medical issues that can affect your bones, kidneys and blood cells.”
