Hi @yusbe, Welcome to Mayo Connect where you’ll be able to talk with other members who also have been diagnosed multiple myeloma. (MM). You’ll find everyone helpful and willing to share their experiences and offer some encouragement for you and your husband. I know it’s frightening getting a blood cancer diagnosis but there are treatments which can help keep the Multiple Myeloma under control.

Below, I’ve posted a few links to get you connected with other MM members where you’ll meet @gingerw,
@richardab @jimbond48 @carolee888 @tristram @cat1952 @patty67 and several others who either have MM or have family members with the condition.

Some are older conversations but you can reverse the order to the most recent replies. There is a button under the opening discussion paragraph which says “oldest to newest”. Just click there and the order will provide the newest answers for you.
Feel free to jump into any conversation. If you want to reply directly to a specific comment you’ve read, simply click the blue reply button and that will open a link with that member’s @name so they will get a notification.

These links below are good sources to give you a little more information about MM with how the diagnosis is determined, symptoms and possible treatments.

Your husband was just newly diagnosed so everything feels overwhelming and daunting because you don’t know what to expect. It can really help calm fears when you’re able to talk with other who are going through a similar experience.

Has his doctor talked about a treatment plan?

Muchas gracias por toda su explicación. El diagnóstico es reciente y aún no determinan la estrategia de tratamiento con la que lucharemos. Vivimos en Cuba y los recursos son escasos. Dios nos ayude a encontrar uno potente que nos dé una esperanza de vida. Trataré de seguir en contacto con usted. Gracias de corazón. Abrazo a todos desde Cuba.
