Windows software and Android app for Myeloma management

People with Myeloma should keep health records to effectively manage their condition and collaborate with their healthcare team. Myeloma is a complex cancer that can cause various symptoms, including bone pain, fatigue, anemia, and frequent infections. By maintaining a health journal, individuals can track the severity and frequency of these symptoms, as well as identify potential triggers, such as specific activities or environmental factors that may exacerbate their condition. Measurings, such as blood counts and kidney function, can be recorded to monitor disease progression and response to treatment.

Lab tests, including blood tests and bone marrow biopsies, can be documented to keep a comprehensive record of their medical history. The journal should also include details of prescribed medicines and treatments, such as chemotherapy or stem cell transplants, and any procedures or surgeries undergone. Regular doctor visits, consultations with oncologists, and interactions with other healthcare professionals should be noted to ensure continuity of care and timely follow-ups.
