Hi
I am still awaiting confirmation of myeloma but from my doctors tone I think it’s inevitable . Was picked up from a blood test for stomach problems . To see I’m scared is an understatement as I went through breast cancer a few years ago . The tiredness at the moment is the worst and then the tingling feeling in my legs at night makes it unable for me to sleep ? Has anyone suffered from this ? Just means I lay awake all night with my mind going round in circles ?
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 various blood cancer groups.
I don’t have Myeloma but was diagnosed in 1999 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of NHL Stage 4a, so although my blood cancer ‘type’ is different I know this journey rather well.
Lets look for some of the group members to pick up on your post. You can also look through the various posts (hit the main group name and scroll down) and as always you can hit reply and ask some questions and see if the member is looking in.
