Hello, @joeblack445,
I'm truly sorry to hear about your diagnosis. How are you holding up? Although rare as a symptom, bruising can occur in some individuals with multiple myeloma. It's a tough road ahead, but please remember, you're not alone and our community is here to support you with any concerns you might have.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hi
It was a round about journey, but I just found out about my multiple myeloma diagnosis. I've been having a bunch of bruising, turns out, thats what has been causing it.
What led your doctors to run tests? How did they find your multiple myeloma?
