    I was diagnosed with asymptomatic myloma a year or two ago and want to make plans for the time when I start getting symptoms. Although in my late 70’s, I am still very fit. Can anyone here give me a feel for how the disease progresses, what the symptoms will be, how long I might expect to live and what care I will need? My house was designed for my disabled wife with an annex for a carer and I am wondering if I should plan to stay at home indefinitely and employ a carer or whether my plan should assume that I will need to move to a care home. Should I keep my late-wife’s expensive electric wheelchair?

    I was diagnosed just over two years ago and the main thing I have learnt is that no two cases are ever the same, Realistically I don’t think anyone can answer your questions,
    Each case is very individual and side effects vary considerably!
