Hi all,
I finished treatment for TNBC in February 2023 and as of my last checkup back in October everything looks good. Obviously my family were delighted but we have just been told that my Dad has Myeloma in his bone marrow. They need to do more scans to see the extent and to check for other issues. Is there anyone on here with experience of Myeloma. My sister and brother spoke with the doctor this morning who said that he would probably have weekly injections and take tablets at home. Different to my experience with chemotherapy, a lumpectomy and radiotherapy. I live in Wales and my family are all in Dublin so I feel a bit helpless right now.

Hi Maz100 sorry to hear about your dad….. the blood cancer journey is ever so complicated (I have lived with my type of incurable blood cancer for over 24 years) but you may want join our dedicated Myeloma support group.
I help out around our various blood cancer groups and I will say that the general rule the older the patient the less treatment options there are as blood cancers tend to need strong treatments.
