    Hi Stevie, no, no SCT as I have never had remission 😐. I have been on continuous treatment since August 2015 and 6 months treatment in ’14. I see Michael Quinn. Where are you in NI?

    take care

    It’s my wife (Edel) who has Myeloma, and she had her SCT in September this year after 6 cycles of VTD. Our consultant is Dr Boyd, in Mandeville, Craigavon. Stevie if you live in the Banbridge area then I may know you, as we used to be neighbours! Either that or your name is more common than you think.

    Yes very small world indeed, and yes she had it in 10N. She has recovered really well and has been out and about for around a month now. We were at a wedding a couple of weeks ago, which back in the summer we didn’t think would have been possible.
