I totally get where you're coming from. It's tough trying to sift through all that info online, and its just making things scarier, one thing that helped me was to take breaks from the internet.

Do not read anything unless it is from a trusted website, like American Cancer Soceity, International Multiple Myeloma Foundation, Univ. of Penn, Mayo Clinic, etc. There are to many general people posting bad info that think they know something because their sister in law had MM.

There are many many people who live with MM. The stuff you read is old and there are a ton of therapies available. Not sugar coating it…. It’s rough. But not as dire as you read on line.
