Newly diagnosed - partner has found out today he has myeloma

Hi just wanted to come on here and get advice my partner today as found out he as myeloma  and he now as to wait for a MRI scan to check if he as it any where else I am still in shock don't know what to do and how to tell my 13year old son devastated not the word.

  • My husband was diagnosed in 2019 and I can remember being desperate for information about the condition. I found the Myeloma UK website really helpful and as well as a lot of information there is a members forum where you can read questions and answers about every aspect of Myeloma.

    It seems to be highly individual and everyone has different experiences and treatments so you will know more once the MRI scan has been completed. In the meantime try not to panic as there will be a treatment to suit your husband. There are more people than you think who are living with Myeloma and apart from regular blood tests my husband does not think about it too much since he completed a course of treatment.
