After treament for myeloma

After your treatment has finished, your doctor will probably want you to have regular check-ups and x-rays. You will have regular blood and urine samples taken, to check the level of paraproteins. If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms between appointments, let your doctor know as soon as possible.

Many people find that they get very anxious for a while before the appointments. This is natural and it may help to get support from family, friends or a support organisation during this time.

CancerBACUP’s section on adjusting to life after cancer, gives useful advice on how to keep healthy and adjust to life after treatment.
