Good afternoon everyone I am a 53-year-old grandmother of two who was diagnosed last year with multiple myeloma and since I've got nothing on myeloma I constantly get sick for 3 to 4 days really bad every month I'm looking for other people that can explain this cancer

Does your oncologist talk to you about it.I was diagnosed September of 2023 and have side effects but not real serious.Right now I'm on maintenance once a month.

Many side effects are probably caused by your meds.

Periodic sickness may be caused by the meds you are getting to fight the cancer.
