Hi Grah, 

A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat and thank you for coming here and sharing your story of living with myeloma. I hope that the chemotherapy treatment is going well and that you are not suffering from too many side effects. I am so sorry that you have been so isolated and that your children have not contacted you and your wife is not very well at the moment as well as your niece who has cancer too. I can imagine the loneliness must be hard to bear sometimes and that it can be difficult to remain positive at times.

This is a time when you might need support from loved ones and it can be a real challenge to face all this alone. I just wanted you to know that the forum is here for you anytime you need to reach out to someone who understands what you are going through and I hope that you will soon be hearing from others here who have also been diagnosed with myeloma. I thought I would mention for example this recent myeloma thread by juliemary50 which you are welcome to respond to if you wish to do so. 

We would love for you to feel less lonely through the power of this online forum and I hope that Cancer Chat will help you connect with others who have been affected by myeloma. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
