Sorry to hear this, Maureen,
I can sense your frustration. Don’t undo the good your lovely holiday has done, though.
Velcade didn’t work for Mark either, even with cyclophosphamide and prednisolone, then dex, and we both felt really disappointed that he had gone through 5 cycles of it with no results, and light chains a bit higher then when he started. I felt that nothing was going to work, so didn’t really know how to handle the more positive news we got last week.
It sounds like a very good idea to get a second opinion. Consultants should not be stroppy – they’re meant to be on our side!
Will be thinking of you both next Thursday and hoping for better news.
