Hi there,

im looking for some advice or just general experiences as I am struggling to fully digest/come to terms with my dads diagnosis.

he is yet to have his bone marrow biopsy and his scan however due to his M Proteins being at 39 they have said he is stage 1 but I am struggling to understand how they can classify this without the other tests, has anyone else experienced this?. I suffer terribly from anxiety and he had 2 bleeds in the brain and a craniotomy in 2022 so his health is always a panic of mine and with him already been through so much it breaks my heart he is been handed another hard hand.

i know it is a very individual disease and can be managed but the uncertainty of not having the biopsy/scans have me extremely worried. I am doing everything I can to research. My gran had blood cancer for 18 years before I was born and I know medicine has improved so much since her passing 40 years ago.  My dad is in his late 50s so still very young but I can’t help but panic but doing everything I can to be positive and not act like things have changed any as he just likes to act nothing is going on.

please any advice/recommendations or just general experiences would so welcomed, just the initial shock and being overwhelmed I’m unsure where to start or what to think.

Thanks everyone x
