Really pleased to hear it Helen! Tea at the Ritz , ooo I say! Its my 40th this year and im wondering what special treats I will be getting from my hubby, probably the usual last minute rush to Asda for pj’s, a book and a pack of 5 pants. One friend was whisked to Las Vegas and another got a range rover, so I would like something similar! Hehe, I will let you know!
Mum has been told she is out of remission, we are devastated. So we are buckling up ready to jump aboard the rollercoaster again. Cant understand it though, pps are at 4 and BMB was ok. Its the plasmacytoma that has popped up that has caused the need for treatment. So Velcade is to start on Monday and Thursday (2 weeks on 1 week off) is that the usual?. After the Velcade she is to move straight on to 2nd SCT, that upset my Mum more than anything, its all very fresh in her mind – she had the first in Aug 2012. Only 1 or 2 sessions of radiotherapy are required now as the chemotherapy will work also on the plasmathingy. Shes also to have root canal work, and that has to start before she can have the oral equivalent of Zometa. Shes been advised not to have the tooth removed, yet the bugger in question is right at the back and anyone else would just have it out. So all in all we are pretty p***ed off, and I for 1 feel that this is such an injustice. Hey ho, whatever it takes she says. Sorry for the rant…..you did ask 🙂
Any tips for when on Velcade would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway, bathtime in this household, catch you soon
Love Ali x
