Firstly, my husband has smoldering MM, unfortunately I qualify for this support group! I've noticed since joining that there's not a lot of activity in our group here, which is a concern to me, especially for new people joining who may not get the support that they need, or the questions they need answered.
In the meantime I wanted to bring to the new peoples attention the 'caregivers' group...especially for those of us who have family members suffering this brutal cancer. They may not be able to answer some of your questions and concerns in there...however, you will get support from people going through some of the same challenges. Hope to see you in there.

Hi Rosemariet~~ There is a support group for carers of people with myeloma. You just want to type in 'caregivers support group', and you will find the group that supports carers. I had a quick look for you and it appears to be a friendly group of people who are all facing the same sorts of trials and tribulations that you are going through with Euclid. How is he at the moment? Your job must be quite involved in just keeping him alive, particularly with all the surgery he has undergone and the loss of body parts.Do you have to make a special diet for him for every meal? My husband had to do that for me when I had nausea for three months -- he came up with lots of little things that made a big difference for me and eventually I started keeping food down and regaining weight. Try the support group -- hopefully you will find others who can share their experiences with you. Good Luck, Cath
