Hi

Someone very close to me has recently been diagnosed with myeloma.  She is In her early sixties and is fit and well otherwise.  Her treatment starts this week on the newly approved drugs.

This is all very new to me.  I've not had any experience of a close friend or family member going through this so lot entirely sure what to expect.

My first question is how are the next few weeks, the first weeks of treatment, going to be for her?  I want to be there for her as best I can.

    I have just been diagnosed with Myeloma and am in my mid 60s.  Not got the detailed results yet or much information and waiting for my MRI scan.  I would like to know the same as you.  Fiona
