    My husband, Phil, was diagnosed with MM in May this year. Phil had been suffering from rib and back pain on and off for a while but we thought it was just normal aches and pains. It started getting worse in Feb/March this year and after what seemed an endless number of tests we got the worst news imaginable, we were hoping it was just a vitamin…[Read more]

  • Hi Ange

    Like everyone else I am sorry you have had to join us. It is very confusing that MM is such an individual disease and it is sometimes particularly confusing if you have high para protein levels but still don't need treatment yet. This will be because you haven't any organ or bone damage. I do hope this situation lasts for a long…[Read more]

  • Dear Dai

    I'm glad you have the emotional energy to take up your complaint this time. So many of us let it go because we can't face the effort needed.

    I think some of the weakness inb the system, which allows things to be so dirty, is the division between nursing and cleaning staff, and the division between cleaning staff and staff who…[Read more]

    Hi Andrea
    Sorry you had to join us but you are in the best place. My husband was diaganosed 6 years ago with smouldering myeloma, he was being checked for something else. He just started CDT in June and has 3 more cycles to go before STC. Andrea I know its difficult not to worry (I'm the best at that) but we had a great 6 years, doing things that…[Read more]

    Hi Kevin

    Sorry to hear you were diagnosed too. Good luck with your treatment. For me it is a waiting game until I need treatment and I have no idea how long that will be! On the positive side I have some time to prepare and am thankful I was diagnosed so quickly.

    All the best
