Hi all,
I'm 42 and have just received a diagnosis of myeloma. I'm a GP reg so all of my family and friends expect me to have all the answers but in reality I feel overwhelmed and confused by all the information that I'm reading. I have an appointment on Friday to hopefully get some clarity. Would anybody mind telling me what I might expect in my appointment?
Thank you 
Hi and welcome to this corner of the Community although always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike Thehighlander and I help out around our blood cancer groups.
I don’t have Myeloma but was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare incurable but treatable type of skin Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 4a and although my blood cancer ‘type’ is different I understand this journey rather well unfortunately.
I do hope that your appointment went well and you have a better understanding as to what the way forward is.
Lets look for some of the group members to pick up on your post.
It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.
To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers check our Online Information and Support Section.
Do check out for a local Maggie's Centre as most centres run regular Heamatology Support Groups.
Always around to help out ((hugs))
