Hello Min
I just wanted to say thankyou for posting this. I cried as I read it, as I realised that you start the grieving process as soon as your loved one is diagnosed with Myeloma – both for a way of life that is lost, and the loss of the future you dreamed of. Some of the feelings described here apply already and in a funny way it's comforting to know it's quite normal to have them.
Thanks again
Steph

Hello Sarah
I too went into a bit of a meltdown a few weeks ago, after a bumpy 6 months with my husbands treatment and no sign of a let up. Our Macmillan nurse specialist referred me to a psychology person at the hospital. I went to see her for the first time this week complete with a large amount of scepticism. I came away, whilst not feeling on top of the world – I did feel better for having just openly talking with someone who wasn't at all involved, and who was sympathetic without being sugary. I'm now booked for a few more sessions.
I would definitely recommend, if you have a nurse specialist, you speak to them, as they'll have contects to put you in touch with.
Hope that helps.
Steph

Hello Mavis
My Andy is posting on this forum as AndyG. He's just posted an update under 'treatment'. Things aren't really moving in any direction at all up to now unfortunately as his paraproteins are being a bit stubborn. Hopefully now we'll move forward.
Hope you're doing OK.
