Hi Beverley

Thanks for getting in touch.

Hopefully once I have got my head around things, will be as positive as you.

I was formally diagnosed on June 18th this year, at the moment I feel like I have a bomb jacket on but someone else has the remote control.

I suppose everyone feels like that initially.

Please keep me posted with how you are keeping.

Take care and kindest regards

Anne

Hello Beverley

After undergoing all the usual tests Bloods, Bone Marrow Biopsy and 24hr Urine because of the presence of Bence Jones Protein, I have been diagnosed with Smouldering Myeloma.

I'm 55 (I was actually formally diagnosed the day after my birthday) my 17 year old daughter is my main support and friend as my husband works away and I have no family that lives near to me in Lincoln.

I'm trying to come to terms with Myeloma as I have already lost a breast to Breast Cancer 2010 and have Rheumatoid Arthritis for 22 years, my daughter is in a state of shock really, she has carried a lot on her young shoulders.

I am waiting for the result of my Skeletal Survey, I keep getting pin prick pains in my ribs and lower back, it can be sore but comes and goes, but the pain isn't there constantly.

Is this how things are in the beginning?

Hope I haven't bored anyone.

Anne:-)
