Get on Facebook or whatever social media you want and find support groups. I have myeloma and I greatly appreciate the groups that understand my situation. So sorry for your diagnosis, but it may not be as bad as you think.
In the four years I’ve had myeloma they have developed new therapies. The one I’m on now is so new they don’t even know what it’s totally capable of. I’m currently cancer free after 40 days of treatment. They don’t know if it will last or if I’m cured. But it’s a hope anyway. Good luck.
