Just to say a BIG hello to everyone on this forum.

My husband (58) was recently diagnosed with MM Stage II and after scanning through some of the discussions, I find it to be a very welcoming and positive place.

When I get more than 5 minutes to spare, I'll take a more thoughtful look through the discussions and see what tips I can pick up.

Hope to chat to you all soon.

Amanda and Bob. 🙂

Hi Amanda and bob

Welcome, you are right. This is a very supportive helpful place. It has been godsend to Colin and I. Colin was diagnosed with MM October 2011. Until then we had never heard of the condition. Others experience and knowledge has helped us no end.

Good luck with the treatment x

Thanks all for the great welcome.

Just an update on Bobs' progress.

Bob starts his 3rd 28-day cycle of medication today.

He's in good spirits and very little pain as he's on full dose morphine, oral morphine solution and paracetamol.

The Myeloma XI trial is going well and the 4-weekly Zometa infusions are working (although they still knock him about for a couple of days afterwards).

At our next hospital visit he'll also be meeting with a consultant to discuss radiotherapy treatment for the pain in his right side, so we'll find out how many treatments at the QE he'll need.

Overall, his numbers are improving and his pain is under control. We just have to counteract the fatigue and reduce the risks of infection so he doesn't end up in hospital AMU again.

Things are still very positive. Xxx

Hi Amanda and Bob, just a quick welcome(?). I have been here since 2009 when I was diagnosed with Myeloma G, the bog standard one. It is just not the forum that is so great here the site itself has so much UP-TO-DATE useful information on it.

look forward to seeing you on the forum but now I must go play World of Tanks with my Grandsons.

Kind regards – Vasbyte

Hello Amanda and Bob,

My name is Megan and it is my husband Phil who has Myeloma, he was diagnosed in May this year. I see from your other post that you live in Cannock, we live in London but Phil was born in Walsall and still has family in the area. We were married in Lichfield. I have found this forum very helpful and everyone is very kind. Maggie and Ellen the Myeloma nurses whose number is on this site have also been great when I have called with questions, there is so much to learn and take in.
