@cemeterygal01 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Having received a new diagnosis can sure be unsettling, definitely.
Multiple myeloma and amyloidosis are two different disorders. i am curious which one you were diagnosed with. Then we can address your concerns!
From WedMD: https://www.webmd.com/cancer/multiple-myeloma/multiple-myeloma-with-amyloidosis
And from Amercan Association of Hematologists: https://ashpublications.org/blood/article/138/17/1514/477397/Why-is-amyloidosis-not-multiple-myeloma
When do you see the doctors, next?

I’ve been diagnosed with both.

I have both. I have an oncologist locally where I get my treatments (Peacehealth cancer center) and I had a consultation/2nd opinion at Fred Hutch in Seattle.
I see my dr once a month before treatment. I just saw her yesterday.
