Myeloma Expectations

I was diagnosed with Myeloma in March, started DRD treatment in late April, currently halfway through second cycle of DRD treatment.

I am male, aged 80 and reasonably prior to diagnosis.

I have read the 'Survival for myeloma' page and I am interested in how other Myeloma patients are progressing with their treatments.

  • Hello JRSCHOLES and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I hope your treatment is going as well as possible and I'm sure members in a similar situation will reach out to you.

    I'm glad you've found a page from the About Cancer website. If you ever need to look at further information, we have a advice on monitoring myeloma during your treatment as well as a living with myeloma page, including ways of coping and support that might be available to you. 

    We also have a cancer nurse helpline, if you'd like to speak to someone at any point. You can call the helpline for free on 0808 800 4040 and lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    I hope this helps,

    Moderator Anastasia
