Lady A\u2019s Charles Kelley is in the fight of his life as he is battling multiple myeloma<\/a>, which is a rare form of blood cancer. Although he has remained fairly optimistic, even performing at the recent CMA tribute to the late Dolly Parton, he admits he was \u201cnaive\u201d regarding the treatments. Keep reading for more on what Charles has to say now that he is in the thick of it all.<\/p>\n

Charles Kelley Is Doing His Best<\/h3>\n

When Charles Kelley learned he had blood cancer, he was stunned. He had no idea that some blood tests following some rib fractures would lead to such a diagnosis. Yet, he went in with extreme optimism and hope. Moreover, a friend of his and his wife<\/a>, Cassie, had a friend who was going through the same situation, so he felt somewhat prepared. It was not as bad as he thought it would or could be. Recently, Charles and his band, Lady A, performed on the CMA tribute to Dolly Parton.<\/p>\n

He looked amazing, but now he is opening up about his naivety<\/a> when it came to cancer treatments. The 45-year-old felt he knew some things, but there were some that he was completely in the dark about:<\/p>\n

\n

The good thing is that the treatment is working really well, but I will say I naively thought I would not be in so much pain.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since it affects his bone marrow, he is in chronic pain when it comes to the drugs. Additionally, he has \u201cfull body aches\u201d and is always fatigued. Of course, Charles is grateful that it is helping, but he did not think he would feel so horrible. Again, as he continued the update<\/a>, Charles Kelley was the eternal optimist:<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m hoping that as the chemo gets in there and fights off these cancer cells, that my bones will feel a lot better over the next few weeks. But it ain\u2019t no joke, man. It\u2019s real.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
