Hi Tonyb I had chemo for four months then a rest period after which I had my stem cells harvested.
After which I was admitted to hospital I received a high dose of chemo then received my stem cell transplant.
After which I spent some time in hospital with no serious side effects. I was discharged home where my recovery improved quickly,I still have fatigue days but I just give in and rest.
I am 70 years old,I wish you all the luck in the world,take care.

Hi,I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma last August and similar to yourself I had 4 doses of chemo.I was harvested beginning of April,it was easy and pain free and then I was admitted two weeks later for stem cell transplant.This again went very well,the only thing I warn you of is when the infusion starts all you can taste is tinned tomatoes and you smell of them for a few days.After discharge it took me until September before I was back to near normal.I must admit that I am 70 years old and I feel fitter now than I have done in years.Hope all goes well,take care
