30 years and still counting- by Roslyn Rosengarten

'Towards the end of October 1996, about the time of my 50th birthday, after 15 months of visiting doctors complaining of intermittent rib pains, I was told I had myeloma. One haematologist told me to get my affairs in order as I only had 2 to 3 years.'

'When I was first diagnosed, there was no support for people impacted by myeloma, no awareness of this cancer, no information to access and no opportunities to connect with others affected. Between Brian and I and the two other couples, Bob and Glenys Moran and Donald and Judith Brown we set out to change this.'

Everyone living with myeloma, and their family and carers, will eventually have questions about what happens when treatments stop working, or when you might choose to stop treatment. These questions often come up as you enter a phase called end-of-life care. We know this time can feel emotional and overwhelming.

Our new infosheet ‘End-of-life care in myeloma’ is for people living with myeloma and the people caring for you. It explains what to expect, where to find support, and how to prepare.
