“We’re a bit like detectives aren’t we..." In Episode 4 of #GPsTalkCancer, our GP hosts cover #myeloma and are joined by Dr Suzanne Roberts. Dr Roberts explains what kind of pain to look out for – like back pain – in this type of blood cancer and how to tell the difference between a musculoskeletal pain versus a pain without a mechanism of injury, or a new-onset pain. She talks through other symptoms like fatigue and anaemia, the C.R.A.B acronym, MGUS, staging, and the primary care investigations she would recommend.

“The first time I felt the lump in my breast was the day before we were about to go on honeymoon – I just knew, oh no - I need to get this checked. I just felt a bit sick really to the stomach."
