My mom died from multiple Myeloma 2 years ago when I was 17. She had it for around 7 years.Praying for everyone fighting this disease y’all are strong🙏
I have multiple myeloma that was detected while I was in cardio rehab after open heart surgery and triple bypass surgery. I have been in treatment for 5 years for the Multiple Myeloma, i am also getting ready for skin cancer treatment, I guess that I brought home unwanted souvenirs from three years in Vietnam. Not only do I have a great Oncologist and nurses taking care of my wife and Myself I have many people praying for me, and I truly believe Prayer is a great medicine.
@@Tryagain563 who are you to use science and technology to reap its benefits and then thank an imaginary friend that according to this bronze age mythology caused the cancer in the first place? Why would you change something that supposedly your imaginary friend caused? hypocritical much
I was diagnosed in November im only 50. So far just the chemo without the transplant has eliminated 90% of the myloma protein. I guess we caught this early i guess Praying for those involved
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma bone cancer. I’m 70 yrs old. More tests and treatments on the way. I am not afraid to die. I may even welcome it before it’s all over with.
I’ve been diagnosed with multiple myeloma after having problems with my 32 year old heart bypass. I also had large B cell lymphoma 9 years ago. I’m 70 and have 18 year old son with Aspburgers in college. My goal is to get him through college. Anything after that is gravy.
My husband died March 4, 2020. He was 3 days shy of 80. He started having complications that interrupted his chemo cycles. I don’t think they were related to his multiple myeloma. He had two ERCP procedures a stent was placed and then he had his gallbladder taken out. He got an infection. There were the occasional times he could not take chemo because of his liver numbers. He never gave up hope and his attitude was always good.
I M so sorry for your loss. I lost my father due to myeloma in 18 sept 2020, his kidney didn't work, dialyses was going on, his heart became weak, he lost 20+ kg weight, his liver were damages, the kemo was also given, nothing helped nothing! I am still in delima what happened to him his condition became sensitive in 2months! He was diagnosed with myelomma in 2018 was doing fine but everything went abnormal in last 2 months! :)

@@michelsooriah692 Thanks. I'm currently receiving chemotherapy in the form of a shot and an oral medication. The doctor says my blood work is stable and I could possibly be looking at remission, should everything remain sready.
I got diagnosed yesterday with non secretory mm. I’m only 32! The oncologist was shocked. I’m happy I get to help with research on younger patients because there’s not a lot since it’s so rare.

I’m 31 & having severe lower back pain on & off for 2 years. I was hospitalized last year for kidney failure. My creatine has gone up a few times more since last year. Went to therapy thinking it was a back injury. It never got better. Left SI joint breakdown and inflammation. Now that you Iv heard of this condition? I’m convinced this is what I have. FINALLY better days are ahead!!! This pain occurred a year after having my daughter in 2019
I'm 44 and was diagnosed in mid-September 2022, here in Ottawa, Canada. It is a high-risk Myeloma according to the doc. The Myeloma went into deep remission after my first round of Chemo.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on Jan 16, 2023 after my collarbone bone broke on Dec 12, 2022 (the day after my 52nd birthday) - I was standing completely still at work, and it snapped.
Diagnosed in mid 2016 then was on chemo for about half of the last six years. Only moderate remission. Now I'm on Daratumumab, a monoclonal antibody immunotherapy, and what a difference! PP went down to 7 in just weeks. The hardest part was a long tedious journey, which was more difficult as I had not had much exercise for over two years, because of lockdown. But now my co-morbidities are showing up. Being tested for heart failure, possible venous insufficiency, but I think I may have amyloidosis too.
I was diagnosed last year with aggressive multiple myeloma and I did 6 months of chemo and now I’m going thru evaluations and preparing for a bone marrow transplant next month .
My mom was diagnosed at 47 in the last stage 3a ( 3 months before she turned 48) died 4 weeks after she turned 51(2014), she had it well into her 30's. My grandfather, my moms dad, died with multiple myeloma at 61(2006), he had it well into his late 40's early 50's. Im seeing an pncologist May 8th for testing for it yself because Ive had signs of it muself, im 42, I showed my first bone marrow production issue in 2015 when i was 35 and dr's back then didnt care, my dr new dr now cares very much!! Im terrified.
I got diagnosed in march 2022 with myeloma and the chemotherapy has left me with neuropathy in both my hands and legs. Please do alternate treatments and very limited chemotherapy. Keep your nutrients up BUT also go to a good naturopath.
Brian, if you have neuropathy it may be because of Velcade or thalidomide. The subcutaneous version of Velcade has less neuropathy compared to the IV version. You should ALWAYS tell your doctor about neuropathy symptoms because they can lower dose or change treatments to prevent long-term damage. I am not aware of any alternative naturopathic therapies that kill myeloma cells.
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May of 2020. I am 54 years old and am now in recovery from my bone marrow transplant. I was stage 3 and could no longer stand up bacause of this cancer attacking my bones.
@ClayTon TV yes after I had my stem cell transplant they loaded me up on pain killers and did a lot of bone hardening for my spine and ribs. I am now able to walk on my own without a walker or anything. I still have quite a bit of pain but I am workjng with the pain clinic at Mayo to figure out what works best.
@Demon I'm in the boat. I need to a new doctor. I have been battling MM since2019 my chemotherapy was working but took a toll on my body. I started getting lots tumors or lesions as they were causing lots pain until it got almost completely disabled. Not once did my info tell me I need radiation, let after a solid eights with different chemos. I live in a rural city. Now I'm afraid it's to late. I stop my treatments because of going from waking to a walker and then a wheel chair. Don't give up any of you. I'm hopefully trying find transportation to a newDr. That only works with MM patients. I pray all the time hoping it's not to late for me.
@@carolynbraswell4359 it is a long road. Hope You have Love in Your life. Stage 3 MM 6 years for me, breaking down from very high fitness. Has been a heartbreaker.
How unfortunate that there are so many treatments in MM but not accessible to thirld World coutries like Philippines because the chemo meds are so expensive,a lot of patient just die without being treated, how i wish pharmaceutical company will make their medicine affordable 😢
My uncle diagnosed with MM 2 months back at apollo hospital and passed away day before yesterday... It was painful he had to under go lots of medications processes he gave up knowingly after lots of stress and difficulties....
I am 24 was diagnosed July 2nd 5:04 2024 had kidney and liver failure I was on a ventilator for 9 days started chemotherapy on my birthday July 13 now still going to chemo every Monday and had surgery on my hip where my tumor was eating away my pelvis.
I was diagnosed in 2014 but had symptoms earlier than. Relapsed in 2018 and three months later I was back in remission. It’s so hard on me. I feel like I’m dying.
I still dont understand how i lost my father last year. They caught his really early and he did the bone marrow transplant and was on the chemo he had more bone marrow frozen. They said it was gone it was not in his system just to pass away in the middle of the night about a year after the transplant. Im a only child that just lost my last parent. My mother passed when i was 12 from another ugly illness! Smdh my mom was 31 my dad was 56 im 39 now i have no hope for the future. I figure i have sickle cell really bad im in heart and liver failure so.. I will probably go in between their ages. Im not sad tho i cant wait to see them again. I do have children i didn't want my daughter to be a only child like me. I wanted her to have a support system when im gone. And she does.
I wish I had read this earlier. Please don't lose heart. Alfred Lord Tennyson rightly said . " More things are wrought by prayer than the world dreams of " I am in my late seventies and have been a Multiple Myeloma patient for the last three years. I am feeling fine mentally and physically. Whichever religion you belong to , find sustenance in your faith. There are millions doing much better than us and also millions who are doing much worse than us. Stay cheerful and welcome each day with hope in your heart. God bless you.
Weeping may endure for a knight but joy commet in the morning, repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sin
My prayers are with you truly, and your daughter, I pray that god have already put a good support around you and your daughter, I know how hard it is, it 5in the morning and I am up praying. But in the name of Jesus Christ I pray for everyone one that is reading this that he touches each one in the way we. Needs now

😞 Very sorry. Before I was diagnosed I didnt know about this type of cancer most people hear about leukemia, lymphoma, king, prostate just to name a few. I was floored, I thought I had another mini stroke. The growth is pushing on my blood vessels & causing stroke like symptoms that eventually lead to another mini stroke.
Worst stage. Battling for over 6 years. So many clinic trail/ etc. hospitalized 30 times. Never did a bone marrow transplant. Biggest regard. Had car - t- cell treatment last for 18 months of remission. The fight is real. Low platelets & hemoglobin all the time ... Just hospitalized, had a seizure with blood in my brain. ICU for four days. We on a ventilator for 9 hours. Still kicking. SparK Cures for clinical trial. Free services.
I feel so helpless for my Son has this cancer and he is so much pain his ribs .. knee s and now his shoulder some time he can't walk ..as his Mother I wish I could take his pain myself
I also have MM with severe bone involvement. Please read/research on holistic protocols that can compliment conventional treatments, like chemo. Read on the benefits of fasting, clean diet (like the Mediterranean or Alkaline diets, supplementations like a good source of vitamin D with K, Soursop (Graviola) tea, nettle tea, curcumin/turmeric is very good for MM, sauna to detox...Check out Dr. Thomas Lodi's UA-cam channel and Fasting Escape's channel. May the Lord Jesus grant your son healing 🙏
My brother in law had it. He had chemo and transplant. He lived two years and died at 48. He got GVH which I believe took his life. Was a horrible death and disease. He got the flue then was diagnosed. Very sad. That was in 1995. I’m sure things have improved since then. Thank goodness.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother in law, we still have a long way to go in ultimately finding a cure. Thank you for watching and sharing your story.

Watch Joe tippens cancer story and panacure or fenben for 3 months... God speed. Btw. I have it, did a transplant and am using his protocol. Working for so far.
My dad had multiple myeloma , he did Chemo ( was a shot ) and started to take a really expensive drug may only had two doses before then kidney failure started to happen and a stint or shunt ( not sure if that correct term) in anticipation for dialysis ( was going to take a few weeks to be ok to use however he developed a leg infection and was sent to er and developed septis they did a emergence dialysis through his neck but got worse and died 4maybe 5 days later. I sure multiple myeloma was the main illness then other organs started failing A snowball rolling down a hill getting bigger and bigger

U r never cured of myeloma. If ur blood work is good, that is what doctors look at. 75 years old, diagnosed in 2020, lots of meds and chemo for five months. Blood was clear so off meds and taking a 2.5 revlimid pill every day. Side effect of chemo....neuropathy. however, I still push through. Even checked out stem cell but with all that one goes through with that surgery, u still have to do some form of chemo. Sorry for all those young people afflicted. I thought only age 70 and up may be affected. Blessings!❤

You should ALWAYS tell your doctor about neuropathy symptoms because they can lower dose or change treatments to prevent long-term damage. I am not aware of any alternative naturopathic therapies that kill myeloma cells.
I am the same as you have dreadful peripheral neuropathy, Valcade injections
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May of 2020. I am 54 years old and am now in recovery from my bone marrow transplant. I was stage 3 and could no longer stand up bacause of this cancer attacking my bones.
@ClayTon TV yes after I had my stem cell transplant they loaded me up on pain killers and did a lot of bone hardening for my spine and ribs. I am now able to walk on my own without a walker or anything. I still have quite a bit of pain but I am workjng with the pain clinic at Mayo to figure out what works best.
Getting myeloma treatment will significantly help with the bone pain. It all depends on the extent of the damage.
@Demon I'm in the boat. I need to a new doctor. I have been battling MM since2019 my chemotherapy was working but took a toll on my body. I started getting lots tumors or lesions as they were causing lots pain until it got almost completely disabled. Not once did my info tell me I need radiation, let after a solid eights with different chemos. I live in a rural city. Now I'm afraid it's to late. I stop my treatments because of going from waking to a walker and then a wheel chair. Don't give up any of you. I'm hopefully trying find transportation to a newDr. That only works with MM patients. I pray all the time hoping it's not to late for me.
@@carolynbraswell4359 it is a long road. Hope You have Love in Your life. Stage 3 MM 6 years for me, breaking down from very high fitness. Has been a heartbreaker.
I have lot pain from standing and walking,pray the best for you

How unfortunate that there are so many treatments in MM but not accessible to thirld World coutries like Philippines because the chemo meds are so expensive,a lot of patient just die without being treated, how i wish pharmaceutical company will make their medicine affordable 😢

Aap kaha se h bhaiya ji
Meri mummy ko bhi last month multiple myeloma bataya h
I still dont understand how i lost my father last year. They caught his really early and he did the bone marrow transplant and was on the chemo he had more bone marrow frozen. They said it was gone it was not in his system just to pass away in the middle of the night about a year after the transplant. Im a only child that just lost my last parent. My mother passed when i was 12 from another ugly illness! Smdh my mom was 31 my dad was 56 im 39 now i have no hope for the future. I figure i have sickle cell really bad im in heart and liver failure so.. I will probably go in between their ages. Im not sad tho i cant wait to see them again. I do have children i didn't want my daughter to be a only child like me. I wanted her to have a support system when im gone. And she does.
I wish I had read this earlier.
Please don't lose heart.

My girlfriend is 20 and her doctors called saying she has multiple myeloma. I’m shocked cuz it says less than 2% of people under 30 or 40. What should I be doing and what should I expect
I'm sorry to hear that, that is shocking. You can look at the resources we have on healthtree.org/ to help her keep track of her labs and find a specialist near her. You personally can help her and know what to expect through the courses we provide on HealthTree University healthtree.org/myeloma/university/courses - I recommend you start with the basic classes and "Building Your Healthcare Team" and "Becoming an Empowered Patient".

Diet and patience are key
My gram lost her battle in 2001. So few understand this cancer :(
😞 Very sorry. Before I was diagnosed I didnt know about this type of cancer most people hear about leukemia, lymphoma, king, prostate just to name a few. I was floored, I thought I had another mini stroke. The growth is pushing on my blood vessels & causing stroke like symptoms that eventually lead to another mini stroke.
@@RRobinson-ct5cj how you feeling now, are you okay?
My husband got diagnosed when he was 41. That was 3 years ago.
Which stage and how is he doing
Worst stage. Battling for over 6 years. So many clinic trail/ etc. hospitalized 30 times. Never did a bone marrow transplant. Biggest regard. Had car - t- cell treatment last for 18 months of remission. The fight is real. Low platelets & hemoglobin all the time ... Just hospitalized, had a seizure with blood in my brain. ICU for four days. We on a ventilator for 9 hours. Still kicking.

I feel so helpless for my Son has this cancer and he is so much pain his ribs .. knee s and now his shoulder some time he can't walk ..as his Mother I wish I could take his pain myself
I also have MM with severe bone involvement. Please read/research on holistic protocols that can compliment conventional treatments, like chemo. Read on the benefits of fasting, clean diet (like the Mediterranean or Alkaline diets, supplementations like a good source of vitamin D with K, Soursop (Graviola) tea, nettle tea, curcumin/turmeric is very good for MM, sauna to detox...Check out Dr. Thomas Lodi's UA-cam channel and Fasting Escape's channel. May the Lord Jesus grant your son healing 🙏
My brother in law had it. He had chemo and transplant. He lived two years and died at 48. He got GVH which I believe took his life. Was a horrible death and disease. He got the flue then was diagnosed. Very sad. That was in 1995. I’m sure things have improved since then. Thank goodness.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother in law, we still have a long way to go in ultimately finding a cure. Thank you for watching and sharing your story.
What is GVH?
@@michaelcoletta4547 graft versus host disease. It’s where the donor marrow rejected his body and took over. Dreadful disease.
Give Saint Peregrine a prayer ;-) God Bless ...
@Time - 1:02 did he state “We don’t want to get to the cure”?
Do a lot of people with myeloma have MGUS first?
I’m 58 and have MGUS nearly 20 yrs now and a lot of people with MGUS will go on to get myeloma
I have cutaneous multiple myeloma and my symptoms were missed time and time and time again and it was an allergy Dr that found it by doing a protein electrophoresis blood serum. I’m female and 62.
He had the car t cell treatment. No meds for 2 years. Blood work now showing bld is changes not for the good.
My great uncle has multiple myeloma and im not sure how long hes had it. Today i got news that they cant do anything else and i really want to know how long he has 😭
Watch Joe tippens cancer story and panacure or fenben for 3 months... God speed. Btw. I have it, did a transplant and am using his protocol. Working for so far.
May god bless u bro👍live strong 💪
How much does transplant cost?
My dad had multiple myeloma , he did Chemo ( was a shot ) and started to take a really expensive drug may only had two doses before then kidney failure started to happen and a stint or shunt ( not sure if that correct term) in anticipation for dialysis ( was going to take a few weeks to be ok to use however he developed a leg infection and was sent to er and developed septis they did a emergence dialysis through his neck but got worse and died 4maybe 5 days later. I sure multiple myeloma was the main illness then other organs started failing A snowball rolling down a hill getting bigger and bigger
We are sorry for your loss and thank you very much for sharing!

My sis diagnosed with myeloma and she is only 30 she started to take velcade with steroids but her kidneys is fail and she is now so week
How long should she take velcade and is that effective or she should make stem transplant
U r never cured of myeloma. If ur blood work is good, that is what doctors look at. 75 years old, diagnosed in 2020, lots of meds and chemo for five months. Blood was clear so off meds and taking a 2.5 revlimid pill every day. Side effect of chemo....neuropathy. however, I still push through. Even checked out stem cell but with all that one goes through with that surgery, u still have to do some form of chemo. Sorry for all those young people afflicted. I thought only age 70 and up may be affected. Blessings!❤
