Hi Richard
Sorry to hear about you having to start a new treatment, especially with you experiencing so many negative side effects from the drugs. It does bring back vivid memories of my experiences with 4 cycles of CDT. My concentration levels were so poor. I couldn’t even fill out an easy passport renewal document without making mistake after mistake. I had to ask another family member to complete the form after my five unsuccessful attempts. At the same time, I was trying to sell my franchise business due to the myeloma and I couldn’t focus on drawing up accurate business contracts, financial forecasts, interviews with prospective buyers, etc. I hope you manage to find ways of successfully revising for your exams. You might need to seek help with trying different revision techniques to help you remember the information such as using visual aids, different coloured revision notes, listening to your revision notes, etc
When you take your actual exams could you ask whether there is any special consideration offered due to your new myeloma drug treatment affecting your learning capacity and exam performance? In the UK, you can apply for extra time or sometimes extra marks if you are suffering with ill health, learning difficulties or other problems which might affect your exam performance?
