Hello Rosary just to let you know that I was where you are now just about a year ago and it is quite overwhelming at first. Slowly things fall into place and treatment starts and seems to go on and on! It’s a long road and I think at times a lonely one as the induction therapy is largely tablets and popping in weekly to the Day Unit for Velcade injection. I have yet to meet another myeloma patient on my travels. I have found the information on this site to be most valuable and informative. As everyone says it seems to be very individual disease. After 6 months induction which resulted in a very good response I had a stem cell transplant in February and am at last beginning to feel stronger. I had a collapsed vertebrae and small lesions on my sternum and clavicle. I was told last week that the lesions have healed and new bone has formed in my spine which will strengthen the damaged bone. It is a long haul but as I have read on here many times it’s all doable! Very good luck to you. Keep on keeping on! Sue
