Members shared deeply personal reflections on whether prayer is needed when suffering with multiple myeloma, with the overwhelming majority describing prayer as an essential daily practice that provides peace, strength, hope, and connection to God or a higher power throughout their cancer journey. Several members recounted powerful experiences of answered prayers, including miraculous healings in their families, pain relief that allowed sleep, and the sustaining power of prayer groups that have supported them through relapses and hospitalizations. A recurring theme was that faith and prayer offer comfort and purpose during the darkest moments, with many members expressing belief in life after death, praying not only for themselves but for others in the community, and finding gratitude even amid suffering.

I believe in the power of prayer. I will keep praying until the day I die. I pray for myself and I also pray for all of us that they soon find a cure for all of us. I pray for all the fighting going on all of us. It doesn’t matter to me if you don’t believe I believe enough for you and us. Take Care God Bless You All. Emma

Anne,
Had a cousin who had cancer all over her whole body. Throughout all her suffering she still praised God. She always had a smile on her face. She had steel rods put in her back before they knew she had cancer. At the end her arm broke and could not be fixed. She continued to smile. Her whole Church prayed for her healing, but it turned out that her happy suffering, strengthened their faith. She passed away a child of God and I pray is in Paradise with Jesus.

What Surprised You Most After Diagnosis In Multiple Myeloma

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
want to share a little update about my journey. Recently I went for a CT scan of my lungs, and today the doctor explained the results to me. They found some changes in my left lung compared to before. There are areas where the lung lining looks thicker, and a small mass in the lower part of the left lung has grown a bit since my last scan. Because of these changes, the doctors want to do another test called a bronchoscopy, where they use a small camera to look inside the airways and take samples to understand it better. Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what
