Hello `Yvonne, sorry for the late reply, I’ve only just seen your November post, I understand exactly how you feel, I too was diagnosed with Smouldering Myeloma, about 18months ago went through all the emotions you have described.

I don’t think you can  forget it totally, but for me has become easier to accept, I tend to have a little bit of a wobble just before I go for my  regular blood checks thinking what if it is worse, but for me and hopefully for you it will stay fairly stable.

The  advice I would give is try and live your life as normal as you can, as it can be quiet easy to get swallowed up with the whole thing and it to rule your life, take each blood test as it comes, you do have days when you think about it a lot, but as time goes on those day are less frequent.

Hope all goes well

Hi Helen

Thank you for the reply, sorry for the delay in replying to you ,I know you are right staying positive is the way forward.

im a bit of a Costa and chocolate fan myself so will be taking your advice with immediate effect😊

I think it is harder for my family than me really and as I said I feel fortunate to have the SMM diagnosis early.

To be fair I did go though something similar about 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with a neuropathy problem which took about 2 years to get to the bottom of,  during this period it made me Very ill  while not knowing what was going on.  During this time it was too easy to go down a very negative road, but with continuing treatment it is now under control and is fine.

you sound like you have come to terms with your diagnosis very well, did you find it became easier with time?

In case your wondering my favourite is  a large cappachino with a double choc muffin 😊

Take care

Barry
