Hey there! 🌟 First off, I just want to say that I'm here for you during this challenging time. Being newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma can feel super overwhelming, but there are many treatment options available, and your healthcare team will help guide you to the best one for your specific situation. It's essential to have open and honest discussions with your doctors about your goals, concerns, and any preferences you may have regarding treatment. They'll take into account factors like your overall health, the stage of your disease, and the potential side effects of each treatment option to help you make an informed decision... Hang in there, and take things one step at a time. Sending you strength and positivity! 💪💙

Especially with MM everybody reacts differently to treatments. This is why you need to go to the best MM specialist you can find. They can look at what type of MM you have and, if you had a gene array done of your normal cells in comparison your myeloma cells, to determine the best starting point for you. Even with that starting point, adjustments will have to be made to find your best path. Do not settle for a blood-cancer specialists. They will see more leukemia and lymphoma case than MM. You need a doctor who sees myeloma patients every day. Now the treatments focus on immune-system boosters instead of the heavy, heavy chemo that I got when I first started. Be an advocate for yourself as you learn but listen to your specialist. Good luck.
