  • Hello Afsha and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am sorry to hear about your mum's diagnosis. It is truly unfortunate that she has been diagnosed with lung cancer and myeloma at the same time and it must be a really difficult time for you both at the moment.

    There is detailed information on our website on myeloma including on treatment options which may be of interest to you and which may answer questions you may be asking yourself at this stage. Feel free to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk things through with them - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you will also hear from other forum members who may be in the same boat and that they will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

    We're thinking of you during this difficult time and I hope that your mum's treatment goes well and is a success. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
