Go slow, there is a lot to learn. My partner is 71 (almost 72). He is not interested in knowing too much but simply goes with what is TODAY and this helpful for him. Everyone is different. Just know that there are many many lines of treatment and depending on your stage of MM, lots of choices and chances for remission and living long.
People are living longer and longer with it! This is for sure. There are many resources available on line. My only advice is to find other people (a support group) for those living with MM. Blessings and positive thoughts to you today & always.

@gayeh and @mycuppajava There is an online support group sponsored by Mayo Clinic, each month

It is a great way to get familiar with different forms and treatments for multiple myeloma. Yep, there are several ways to approach treatments, just as there are several manifestations of MM.

Thank you! You are so kind. I am not in a hurry to know ALL about this...I dread it. Thanks for taking the time to give your experience!
