I also was diagnosed with MM in March. I do not start treatment until mid April. Each test result, information on the treatment plan, makes it more real. It has not been overwhelming as of yet, but I have worked on anxiety issues previously. I pray, stay positive and take information in smaller increments , so that I do not get overwhelmed. (How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.). I tell myself , there is no cure Yet! I hope there will be one in my lifetime(I am 63). Anticipate Miracles!

My treatments started end of February- it's definitely a job starting out. I took short term disability due to all the Dr appointments and being immune compromised.

I get bloodwork weekly before my treatments. Medical team is great.

Talk to your social worker on any assistance there may be to help.

Turned 60 end of February.
