Hello,
My mother who is in her 80’s was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica last Xmas and had steroid treatment. She improved so stopped taking the prednisolene but now thinks it is coming back.
I took her back to the GP who has now asked for further bloods. When I pressed the nurse she said they were testing for Myeloma. I wasn’t sure what this was so googled when I got home and was shocked to see it’s a type of blood cancer.
Mum is very forgetful and I haven’t told her as I know she’d be very frightened. She doesn’t cope too well these days.
Has anyone else had an elderly relative diagnosed with myeloma and if so, how did they do? Thanks.
Mary
