Persistent symptoms? Prepare a clearer GP conversation.

Myeloma can be difficult to recognise early because symptoms are often vague, including fatigue, back pain, bone pain, recurring infections, unexplained weight loss, breathlessness, or weakness.

Myeloma GP Prep helps you organise your symptoms into a simple one-page appointment summary, so you can explain what has been happening more clearly when speaking to a GP or healthcare professional.

This tool does not diagnose myeloma, assess cancer risk, or replace medical advice.

Why this matters

Myeloma is one of the cancers where diagnosis can take too long. Myeloma UK reports that 50% of myeloma patients wait over five months for diagnosis, 34% visit their GP at least three times, and 31% are diagnosed through an emergency route.

Short GP appointments can make it difficult to explain vague symptoms clearly. This tool is designed to help people prepare a concise symptom timeline before speaking to a healthcare professional.

Myeloma UK reports those delay figures and describes them as among the longest delays of any cancer in the UK.

What Myeloma GP Prep helps you create

1. A symptom timeline
Record what has been happening, when it started, whether it is changing, and how it affects daily life.

2. A one-page GP summary
Turn scattered symptoms into a clear appointment-preparation note that you can bring to a GP conversation.

3. Trusted resource links
Access reliable information from NHS and myeloma organisations.

4. Follow-up reminders
Optionally track whether you booked an appointment, attended it, or need to update your symptom timeline.

Important safety note

Myeloma GP Prep is an educational appointment-preparation tool.

It does not:

  • Diagnose myeloma or any other condition

  • Assess your cancer risk

  • Tell you what tests you need

  • Replace a GP, NHS 111, 999, or qualified medical advice

If your symptoms are severe, sudden, worsening quickly, or you feel seriously unwell, seek urgent medical help through NHS 111, your GP, or 999 in an emergency.

This wording matters because UK guidance makes clear that software and AI in healthcare can fall under software-as-a-medical-device rules depending on intended purpose. Keep the intended purpose as symptom organisation, education and appointment preparation, not diagnosis or triage.
