I stumbled upon this site when my dad was in the early stages of diagosis and I was lost. Your post caught my eye, mainly because your dad is so young. My dad was 82 and your situation really put my own into perspective. My dad was too frail even for the bone marrow test because he had recently had a stroke and was fading fast and…[Read more]

He was wonderful. Never cried out or seemed distressed. The home called us to let us know that he was a little unsettled and they'd given him something to help so we left to go straight up. We were…[Read more]

I am home from a break from sitting at dad's bedside in his care home. He was discharged last Monday after the blood and urine tests showed that he did indeed have levels of paraprotein but in "insignificant" quantities. However without the biopsy the doctor could not diagnose myeloma and we were…[Read more]

Dad's bone scan is back and was negative for any signs of myeloma.

His blood and urine tests aren't back yet but the nurse said they were with the Haematologist which suggests there is something, and also that they were testing because something had already shown up in the urine. He's eating and drinking…[Read more]

My 82 year old dad lives in a nursing home as he suffered from strokes and seizures in his late 70s which left him immobile, incontinent and confused. Usually he's in good health although his mind is fading and his ability to communicate is now impaired so much that he can only manage a few words here and there. He does suffer a lot with…[Read more]
