Try to stay positive and take one day at a time. What chemo is he on? My husband had chyclophosamide to prep him for SCT. His FLC came down to 580 and then they harvested. Everyone has a high dose of mephalan and dex before SCT. Speak to his consultant or the nurses on this site if you are worried.

Hi Val,

As you say, it’s far better the medics found Peter’s myeloma readings before his SCT. He is in the right place to receive more chemo and to be carefully monitored in hospital throughout the process. Dealing with the ups and downs of such news is so stressful and worrying for both of you. As Maureen suggests, please see whether you can talk to his consultant to find out more about the current plan for treatment.
