Welcome @dick12, I moved your post about being newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma to this existing discussion that you'll find here:
- Multiple Myeloma Come introduce yourself? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/multiple-myeloma-26f521/

I did this to help you connect with the many other members living with multiple myeloma like @gingerw @nadineelissa @whitepine66 @mitten @psue4 @tristram @taminni @hthree and more - some of whom have been recently diagnosed like yourself and others who have had MM for years.

What type of chemo drug will you be starting? Do you have questions about starting chemo?

I was diagnosed with active myeloma 31 years ago, and lessons we learned and strategies are in 4 minute YouTube videos. Search YouTube 30 year myeloma survivor, patient 007. The first few episodes may be most helpful as you begin your myeloma experiences.
