    Hi GG
    Sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with myeloma but good to see you here on the Forum.
    I had my Stem Cell transplant 5 years ago in Liverpool and am doing well, with much improved quality of life.

    I wouldn’t worry too much about hair loss, it very quickly grows back. I found that the main problem was the air conditioning in the hospital causing a cold draught on my bald head, so I bought a cap which worked very well.

    There is plenty of advice on this forum about preparing for a stem cell transplant which is probably summed up by keeping as fit and healthy as you can beforehand, but expect to feel tired afterwards for a couple of months.

    Hope this helps, good luck
    David
