I was diagnosed in October 2016 with myeloma and an uncle of my wife also has it. Her uncle was back at work quite soon after his treatment. Initially part-time, I don't know at present.
I finished chemo in Feb 17 and radiotherapy in March and achieved complete remission. I still have to take morphine every day, having to double the dose from time to time. Can no longer drive and can walk only with a wheelie-walker thingy. My back has recently 'gone' and am awaiting results of x-ray. Have peripheral neuropathy affecting pelvic area, legs and feet. So I'm nowhere near fit enough to work. Emotionally I'm very stable and laid back about things. And I ent ded yet.
As with all things myeloma related, the disease, treatment, side-effects and recovery/relapse are very individual. There are no fixed answers. Life is what you make it.
My best to you and yours, please feel free to ask any questions you may have, though I don't know how much help I can be. But I will try.
