Hi, I too have only just registered. My Husband has been suffering from a bad back as a result of lifting a heavy piece of furniture, my fault. He had all the tests, scans etc. and nothing showed. However, a blood test was taken which showed he was a little anaemic. He was given tablets to improve this and then following a further blood test, he was referred. He had deep bone scan and the bone marrow test which showed he had myeloma. This was a shock to both of us as, like others, he felt well.
He has been on chemo tablets, etc. for one month and has coped very well. However, one week into his second treatment, he has had bad pain in his legs – tested for blood clot, but ok, and then put on antibiotics – we are not sure what has caused this etc. He is now complaining of being breathless and is sleeping quite a lot.
We do not know his levels etc. and nothing has been mentioned so now worrying – should we find out where we are.
Have others suffered similar side effects and does it get better?
