I wish I could say that diet stopped James from getting myeloma, but he was actually diagnosed late stage myeloma. The good news is that it was still very treatable. He was pretty happy when the hematologist at Mayo said he ate very well, and could add a small glass of red wine to his diet. We typically eat a little meat, a few times per week. The rest of our meals are typically plant based, with an eye to making sure we get protein. There is an awful lot of variety to salads here. We just throw in anything. Vitamin D is a big one for us, so we have to have supplements. I highly recommend you get as educated as you can get. If you haven’t already I would suggest going to the international myeloma foundation and reading what you can. They have a surprising amount of information, and even a helpline. I put MGUS in the search line and found a list of articles. Take heart not everyone who has MGUS gets myeloma. Here is a link to that search….. at least I hope it works.
