My partner admitted to hospital on Monday, day after having an MRI scan. Diagnosed with a cancerous tumour on Lumber 4 then Multiple Myeloma yesterday. Research today says myeloma is not a tumour does this mean there are 2 different issues? MDT meeting tomorrow but lying awake searching for answers
Hi there, I was diagnosed in 2016 after an MRI and I also had a tumour, all to do with the Myeloma so it is likely to only be 1 issue. A quick round of radiotherapy and the tumour had disappeared, it had already done some damage but a year in a back brace and I am lucky enough to be running around again
