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.
New to MM. I am in Arkansas and 71. About to start treatment soon. Advice anyone who knows what I am facing?
Hello Being There, fionag & Lindaann, I've just come across your messages and hope someone has been able to answer your questions. My partner is going through the same as you. My heart goes out to you all ️
