Sorry to hear Brent,

This is good place to learn about myeloma and the treatments used to control it.

I echo Little Monkey. This forum has been invaluable as I try to understand my husband's journey and treatment options. Usually, I can search and find helpful posts for my questions or concerns.

Advice - While you may meet with a hematologist, also find a myeloma specialist you can see, as well. Even if you have to drive a couple hours to see the specialist.

Also, find a myeloma support group in your area.

I hope these few beginning tips are useful.

Chest pain. Velcade once a week. Goes away eventually.

Very Zen. Cool. But not very helpful. For you. Or for others.
