Hi Mulberry
Thank you for your reply.
That really gives me a lot more hope on a “quality of life” basis.
I feel so disabled at the moment when only a few years ago I was so active and physically strong.
This has been so hard with the pain in the right hand side ribs. I even asked my husband to swap sides in bed after over 40 years of sleeping on the same side. I am struggling even to do the most mundane things. I can’t carry or lift anything that weighs more than a couple of kgs. It breaks my heart not being able to pick up the Grandkids. We have a large garden and have always grown our own fruit and veg but I just can’t do any of this with the rib pain. Did you friend have or was offered radiotherapy?. I wonder whether I should have it if offered?
I am a very strong positive person usually but this myeloma is quite hard for me to understand at the moment.
I am so pleased for your friend.
Thank you again for your reply
