@allu First, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It certainly can be overwhelming to receive a diagnosis like multiple myeloma and have many questions! What specifically has your doctor told you? Is is a precursor to mm like MGUS or smoldering multiple myeloma? Do they plan to "watch and wait", which indicates to me that you may have MGUS. I know there must be som many questions in your head right now that it is hard to relax, hard to get rest. Take a few deep breaths, and we will get through this.

Having other chronic illnesses can add in to the stress you are feeling. Take some time and write down what you feel each day, how you are coping with everything. Being able to look at symptoms and feelings may help you a lot to relax.

I put in the link about insurance at the end of this. The Mayo campuses are busy places. There may or may not be available appointments for you. I think a lot depends on what your doctor says, as far as if you want to think about getting an appointment. Here is a link to use. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Any further questions for me?
