Tips for Chemo start

Am starting Chemo for Myeloma at beginning of March . Any tips or advice ?

  • Hello KGD10, 

    A big welcome to our Cancer Chat forum. I hope that you will meet others here who have been diagnosed with myeloma and who will be happy to share their story with you and their chemotherapy experiences. I remember welcoming [@blastingbilly]‍ who shared his myeloma story including his chemotherapy experience with us here so don't hesitate to respond to this thread or to look up other relevant myeloma threads on the forum by typing the keywords 'myeloma' in our 'search forum' function which is located on the blue banner at the top. 

    You can find out more about myeloma on our website here where you will be able to access information on treatment for myeloma. Should you wish to talk to our cancer nurses about it, don't hesitate to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be very happy to answer questions you might have on what to expect from your chemotherapy sessions. We also have in depth information on chemotherapy on this page which I hope you will find helpful and which contains some useful tips to help you prepare for your first session. 

    I hope everything goes well for you. Do come back here if you get a chance to update us on how treatment is working for you - keeping everything crossed for you that you sail through it! 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
