My husband was diagnosed with blood cancer (myeloma) on the 4th of October. We are now waiting for what ever comes next, I guess it will be test to see at what stage it is at and what treatment is available. We are stuck in limbo till we know more.

I had a different type of blood cancer but this type of diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
