Publisher's Synopsis
What if survival was just the beginning of the story?
Being diagnosed with multiple myeloma doesn't just change your health-it changes everything. The silence after the doctor leaves the room. The search for answers in the middle of the night. The pain no one sees. The questions no one prepares you for. Have you ever wondered...
- Why doesn't anyone talk about the side effects that linger long after treatment?
- How do you explain your diagnosis to your children without breaking down?
- Is there a way to live a full, meaningful life-even when the future is uncertain?
This book doesn't sugarcoat the journey-but it also doesn't leave you in the dark. "Understanding Multiple Myeloma" is not just a medical overview-it's a lifeline. Written with compassion, honesty, and hope, it shares everything patients deserve to know but often never hear. Backed by the voices of survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals, this powerful guide goes beyond the clinical.
You'll meet the invisible truths: the waiting rooms, the misdiagnoses, the silent side effects, the spiritual storms, and the hard-earned victories. Whether you're newly diagnosed, deep in treatment, or rebuilding your life in the aftermath, this book is your trusted companion.
