If you don't do treatment you will get worse,I had myaloma for 2 years before I knew about it,long story,found out when I fractured my back,anyway been under treatment for over a year,immunotherapy,a lot less traumatic than people on chemo,you will get two injections in skin in stomach area weekly, then every 2 weeks,then monthly,may be one monthly,also taking revlimid pill,lucky to have minimal side affects,look into it

Treatment decisions are deeply personal, and many people in this community face similar crossroads with their care. Each person's situation is unique, involving factors like stage of disease, overall health, personal values, and quality of life considerations. Others here may share their experiences and perspectives, which could help provide insight into the different paths people take. Consider discussing your thoughts and concerns with your healthcare team to ensure you have all the information you need to feel confident in whatever decision feels right for you.

I completely agree that these decisions are so deeply personal, and it might also help to connect with others who've walked similar paths to hear about their experiences and what factors mattered most to them.
