@henriques I will be 70 this year. I was diagnosed with MGUS November 2017, smoldering myeloma November 2018, Active Multiple Myeloma November 2019, and started chemotherapy August 2021. I have been on chemo since then. In addition to the mm, I am a chronic kidney disease patient [unrelated to the myeloma] and am on daily dialysis. This complicates my case, but i have a marvelous team who works together.

By the way, the timeline demonstrated above is not the way most people advance. My hematologist/oncologist and I agree that I must be an overachiever! The vast majority of people go many years with no advancement of their condition.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 myeloma 31 years ago, and been in remission the last decade. Each case differs. Our lessons learned & strategies are in 4 minute YouTube videos. Search patient 007 myeloma, then hit videos tab to see each episode.
