Thanks for all your replies.
After another week in hospital, my dad came off of all his Myeloma medication, his choice.
He is doing extremely well. He is obviously still ill but is like his old self again. His appetite improved and he has gained weight.
He was prescribed anti depressants and they have been a major help.
Best wishes to you all 😊

Hi
I’ll be ringing them later today to see if they have managed to get anywhere.
I think one of the problems is my dad is very deaf and when he’s in hospital he doesn’t hear what the doctors are saying. I also don’t think he’s the best of patients… he doesn’t like hospitals!!
Its nice to be able to talk to people about it.
Thanks 😊

Hi Mulberry
Thanks for the reply.
He does have a card and a named consultant. He has only seen the named consultant once but has seen two other consultants as well.
I think as a family we are still trying to get our heads around the diagnosis and a little frustrated that we can’t seem to get any answers.
My dad has pain in his back and one consultant said it was the myeloma in his spine, another said he didn’t have myeloma in his spine and it was degenerative. It’s all a bit confusing!!
I will pass your advice on to my parents.
