Hi. Just to say you’ve come to the right place for support. Very friendly bunch on here. Sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed.
I am also under Hammersmith hospital, for MM.
I have a lovely Consultant, I was diagnosed April 2018, 6 rounds of chemo, Stem Cell Transplant undertaken November 2018.
Currently on no treatment and in remission.
To be honest, I sailed through cycle 1 to 4, then suffered with horrid stomach cramps and severe fatigue, from cycle 4 to 5. It was tough, but doable. The transplant coordination doctor was also very daring and explained and answered all questions.
The transplant itself went well,however, There were days of which I was low in mood and felt weak. Luckily no infections. All I can say is trust in your Consultant and health care team at Hammersmith and I hope you have a good GP. Also, the McMillan support coordinator there is fantastic. You can see her at the hospital. I can only say how it was for me and everybody is different. I wish you the best in your journey.
