Hi Richard
I am 38 and recently diagnosed (April 2016). It’s taken me a while to get my head around everything that has happened over the last 9 months. Broken vertebrae, hip pinned operation and stem cell transplant in the last 9 months. I now after my stem cell transplant which was in October feel better than I did before my myeloma was diagnosed. I had 18 months of excruciating back problems which were unexplained until diagnosis.
I can say that the support of family and friends has got me through this last nine months and I couldn’t have done it without them especially my husband who has been an absolute rock. I sometimes think we forget the ones close to us and what they are going through.
I too am thinking of going to the Bury Myeloma support group in Jan or Feb so may see you there. It would be good to speak to someone who is going through the same experiences and is local.
Please get in touch if you would like to ask any questions of my experiences over the last 9 months.
Thanks Jill
