Myeloma

Living with myeloma

It can be difficult to find out that you have myeloma. It’s normal to feel angry, sad, upset and shocked. Getting practical and emotional support can help you cope with your diagnosis and treatment.

Coping with myeloma can be difficult. There are things you can do and people who can help you to cope.

A stem cell transplant is sometimes called intensive treatment. It can take time to recover after this treatment.

There are organisations, support groups, booklets, videos and other resources to help you cope with myeloma and treatment.
