Hi – I live in South Yorkshire – half way between Doncaster and Barnsley. I was initially diagnosed at Barnsley hospital but they did not have any clinical trials so I opted to go to Doncaster. I had the majority of my treatment there as an out-patient attending once a month for a bone strengthener administered intravenously, blood tests and to collect medication. When my paraproteins came down I was then transferred to the Hallamshire at Sheffield with a view to having stem cell therapy. My stem cells were removed early March and I am just waiting for the phone call to return to the Hallamshire to have my stem cells put back in!
I suspect you could do the same ie have the majority of the treatment at Rotherham and then to Hallamshire but your consultant will obviously be the best person to ask. Anyway hope this has helped – Good Luck.
Best Wishes
Izzie
