What to expect starting multiple myeloma treatment and stem cell therapy?

Starting multiple myeloma treatment can feel overwhelming with all the appointments and new information, but many community members find that connecting with others who understand this journey helps tremendously. The treatment timeline described sounds thorough, and having even a small support network of caring people can make a meaningful difference during this process. Since loneliness was mentioned, please consider scrolling down the page from the Home Screen of the app to find the Ask Outcomes4Me box to get in touch for a more personal conversation and connect with clinical care experts. The 988 hotline is also available if additional support is needed.

I completely agree that connecting with others here who truly get what you're going through can be such a lifeline, Jose - and maybe also consider asking your care team about what specific side effects to watch for during induction so you feel more prepared for each step ahead.

Same here about people writing you off. Seems like they don’t even wanna hear about what’s going on with you especially when they ask how you’re doing and you tell them the truth they really don’t wanna hear the truth so you know your truth and you know how you’re feeling just hold onto your faith with all your mind and just know that God has you if you ever just want to chat back with me I am more than open to responding to you anytime I see your post I’ve been dealing with multiple my alarm since 20:16. I also did a autogamous stem cell as well was only in remission for seven months and been on chemo ever since sometimes I feel like giving up, but God didn’t give up on me so why should I give up on myself stay strong and know there’s someone else understands what you’re going through and will always be a listening ear. If you ever want to get anything off your chest again stay strong hang in there. Blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
