Just had confirmation of myeloma on Christmas Eve which was picked up after post lumpectomy of a breast cancer diagnosis in October! All a bit unreal to have two diagnosis in three months. First of all can someone tell me the difference between smouldering and asymptomatic? Unlike breast cancer think this is more complicated to get head round! Also, unlike my bc diagnosis I am keen to do what I can health/diet wise to keep this at bay. I have just bought curcumin c3 complex (about 21quid) today and on another thread noticed people seem to build up dosage? Any advice and some positives greatly appreciated.

Mickack,
Thank you for reply. You are eating healthy and at times like this I think we become more aware of what we put into our mouths. Good you feeling good too. For over a year I have tried to keep to low carb/high fat diet so keep away from bread/spuds/rice and processed food. I have to say I think I ate too much meat, although ate lots of mackerel and kippers, and not enough veg. My veg tended to be spinach and more spinach and mushrooms. Now I will up veg. I have just been recently diagnosed so awaiting result of mri and still need to do my bone marrow biopsy. In first post I wondered about difference between smouldering and asymptomatic myeloma. The is there a difference do you know?

Thanks Mick,
Can I ask when first diagnosed did you need treatment straight away? I do not expect to have any as no symptoms but I was expected to have chemo (possibly) and definitely radiotherapy after having lumpectomy. Not sure how much my myeloma diagnosis will impact on this.
…oh just seen your reply sorry…you have to do what’s best for you..I know that over the years with this..I get the best “remission time” when I totally through myself into my diet..I know how difficult it is making decisions around treatments and believe me I have had the chemo kitchen sink thrown at me so I have to try every other avenue..we are all different and have one goal..live longer..it is that simple..Iwas diagnosed with lgG kappa myeloma in september 2013 so not really clued up on the other types sorry..but I am sure some one with help you with your question..
Stay positive as much as you can..cancer thrives off stress so my research tells me..look after your immune system..help it with the foods..vitamins and minerals..I really hope this info helps..
Mick
..yes I was put straight on chemo the first week of diagnosis as my para protein count was sky high..in the 70s.. I presented as very poorly basically on my backside when finally got the diagnosis..
I definitely think you have right attitude and your healthy eating can only be helping. I know I will more so stick to real foods. I’m still getting my head around blood results and what they mean but my protein shows 37. I did have about five separate lots of blood taken on Christmas Eve so assuming that will be looking at things more closely? I was spying at doctors screen with results on and there was three things highlighted in red. One protein, one cholesterol and not sure of other one.
