High-Risk Multiple Myeloma Patient in Las Vegas Seeking Advice/Support
Hello everyone, I am a newly diagnosed high-risk MM patient in Las Vegas (Age 38, Female). This is all happening very quickly, and I am quite afraid of the delays in scheduling appointments. I have been diagnosed with active, high-risk multiple myeloma (C90.00), confirmed by a bone marrow biopsy showing 70-80% involvement and the "triple-hit" high-risk genetics (del 17p, t(4;14), 1q gain). I have an expedited referral to see Dr. Aaron Goodman or Dr. Carolyn Mulroney at the Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program at MountainView Hospital in Las Vegas. I have a few questions for the group, especially anyone who lives in Las Vegas or has experience with Sarah Cannon: Has anyone here been treated by Dr. Goodman or Dr. Mulroney at Sarah Cannon in Las Vegas? What was your experience like? . Since I am high-risk, I worry this delay is too long. Has anyone successfully managed to get an urgent appointment with them faster? What should I do in the meantime to manage anxiety and prepare? (I am monitoring symptoms but have no CRAB symptoms yet.) Any advice for a "newbie" starting intensive treatment in the Las Vegas area? Thank you so much for any advice or support you can offer. I appreciate any guidance from those who have been through this. Best wishes,
