My husband was diagnosed with a solitary plasmacytoma in 2003. After undergoing radiation treatment things were going pretty well until January of 2005 when, after being examined for chronic back pain, new tumors were discovered in his spine. He is now undergoing thalidomide therapy which will be followed by intensive chemo and stem cell transplants. I feel that because of all the clinical information he reads on the internet he has already determined that he only has a couple of years left. I can't help but believe that this thought is causing him extreme anziety and not helping his treatment or eventual recovery from it. I am trying to be positive about the time he has and the ways in which to fight this cancer, but realize that I also have to be realistic about certain prognoses and ultimate eventualities, but I and my husband could use some positive feedback about multiple myeloma and remission durations.
