I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the news that your brother was also given a cancer diagnosis around the same time. It sounds like it's been an incredibly difficult time for you and your family.
We have some information about myeloma on our website that may be of help.
Many people can feel alone or isolated after being told they have cancer. Talking to others who understand can help. this could be through joining a forum such as this one or by accessing a support group. Myeloma UK has information about support groups available throughout the UK. It may be that there is a charity such as Maggie's in your local area that offers various face-to-face support options where you can connect with others who are impacted by cancer.
If you'd prefer to talk to someone over the phone you're welcome to contact our team of nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can to help. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
You've made the first steps in reaching out to connect with others who understand Emma and I hope that you connect with others who can share their experiences with you.
