Newly diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma

Diagnosed early December and started treatment a week before Christmas. It was found in the Ribs and so very painful. Had lots of reactions to my drugs over the first month. Hopefully this has been settled with a few changes but very overwhelmed at times.

  • Hello Jaffcakes

    I'm sorry to hear that you were recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It sounds like it's been difficult for you, especially since you started treatment, and it's understandable that it's been overwhelming at points. 

    It's good to know that there have been a few adjustments to your treatment, and hopefully, this will mean that the side effects are reduced and much more manageable. 

    Hopefully, you'll be able to connect with others who are living with this diagnosis soon. Do reach out to our nurse team if it would ever help to talk things through with them. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do keep in touch Jaffcakes and let us know how you're coping. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
