Emma,

I am doing very well thank you.

I had a Autologous stem cell transplant, using my own stem cells.

This was the one I was told was the best for me so this was the way I went.

So far, at least, it has been successful.

In the early days the other was mentioned but my Doctor decided early on to take the Autologous way.

I know little of the Allogeneic transplant, which takes stem cells from another person, such as a sibling or relative. This method isn’t used as often.

Do ask others on this site who may be able to advise you better than I can.

All the very best for you and your treatment. Please keep us all updated.

God bless you

Graham

Hello everyone,

Sorry I have not been around for a long time. How the time flies.
Over a year since my SCT and everything is going really well. I am in remission, the Doctor called it a plateau.

I returned to work albeit on a part time basis in June. I shall return to full time hours in January.
I see my Doctor again on Tuesday who I see every three months. I receive my pomidronate every month which I shall have for life (keeps the calcium in the bones).

Hope you are all feeling better.

God bless you

Graham
