  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community NannyGill although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us.

    After a diagnosis of cancer it's completely natural to experience a wide range of thoughts and feelings as you can see here, but hopefully some of our members who have been on this journey will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    You can find out more about light chain myeloma on our website but if you have any questions about your diagnosis or would just like to talk things through with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040. They're very friendly and informative and will do all they can to help.

    Kind regards,
