Hello Paul. I was diagnosed with smouldering myeloma around 18 months ago which was found after I had continuous back pain. I have no lesions so far and consider myself “lucky” to have been diagnosed early and the hospital have me on a watch and wait programme which is basically do nothing. Being the person that I am, I had to try something myself, so together with various supplements that I take, I also stick to a very strict diet which consists of no meat or alcohol, and because I have slightly raised calcium levels, I restrict my dairy intake by avoiding cheese and drinking only skimmed milk. I have never smoked, so an added bonus here. Kidney issues are a concern to all of us, so I try and drink at least 2 litres a day of fluid a day (which is difficult) and is made up of water and various teas, but especially green tea as it is full of antioxidants. The hospital has advised me to flush out my kidneys as much as possible however, being 63, the rule is never be too far away from a loo…
Kind regards,
Robert
