Hello Mark,


You may want to contact the American Cancer Society's National Cancer Information Cencer. Cancer Information Specialists are available 24 hours a day with diagnosis and treatment information as well as access to local resources.


Take care,


Dana

Re: Multiple Myeloma
			
Hi Mark,

I am a 36 year old mother of 3.  I was dx with MM over 4 years ago.  I have undergone 2 Autologous Bone Marrow Transplants, and 1 Mini-Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant.  The last transplant was in January of 2005 and so far so good.  Things are going well.   I am having a few minor issues with Graft Vs. Host Disease but am living a full and HAPPY life.  If I can be of any help please feel free to contact me. (Please be aware I am not on my computer very often but do check in from time to time).

Faith

Re: Multiple Myeloma
			
I haven't been on here for awhile but i thought i'd add to the replies. The best place to get information is from the International Myeloma Foundation (myeloma.org). They send out packets of information and have a hotline as well as having lots of information at the site.
