I had a peer buddy just after I was diagnosed with MM last year. It was 6 sessions on Zoom, and I found it incredibly helpful when I was reeling from the diagnosis. It was so good to talk to someone who had been through the treatment, and to see that there was light at the end of the tunnel. I would thoroughly recommend the service.

I have MM and got travel insurance through Avanti. They ask detailed questions about your condition. My consultant says it is not “terminal” until the final stage, but is “incurable”. Avanti seem happy with this definition. I pay £26 a month for travel in Europe.

Thanks for your reply. I have been on Lenalidomide for 5 months now. It didn’t seem to change how I was feeling.
Wishing you a Happy New Year too.

Thanks Rael that’s good to hear. I think I’m a bit too hung up on paraptoteins,and I’m beginning to appreciate that we all have different levels.

Yes I felt very anxious before treatment not knowing what the side effects will be and how you will respond. My anxious feelings definitely reduced once I started treatment. Hope yours do too.
