Myeloma
You usually start by seeing your GP if you have symptoms. Or your GP might arrange to see you if you have had an abnormal blood test result. Symptoms of myeloma can be vague and could be due to other less serious conditions. Your GP will ask about your symptoms and examine you.
They will then decide whether to refer you for further tests or to a specialist.
See your doctor if you have any of the possible signs and symptoms of myeloma.
Your GP should arrange for you to see a specialist if you have symptoms that could be due to myeloma.
