    Has anyone else had damage to their kidneys with myeloma and how are you finding the treatment? I have dialysis twice a week to tie in with my chemo and I am this week due to see a specialist about having stem cell transplant, I am 42 and finding the whole thing daunting any advice please!

    I was on the list for a kidney transplant preparing to have fistulas in my arms and weighing up the options of peritoneal dialysis when the Myeloma (Lambda Light Chain) was discovered. With treatment of the Myeloma the kidneys recovered to around 30% and have remained there for over seven years so far. I was your age when diagnosed.
