Hello Rebecca

I was diagnosed in jan 2009 with real failure and MM my kidneys were at about 20% and still are, managed to avoid dialysis but it always hangs over me I chose not to have an sct as I did not want to risk knocking my kidneys out altogether with the heavy chemo needed for the stem cell I got 3.6months remission from CDT and am now on Velcade had three cycles

Hi Maureen

I have not had an SCT I was diagnosed in jan 2009 With mm and renal failure kidneys still only working at 20% I chose not to go for SCT as the heavy chemo would have probably knocked my kidneys out completly didnt want to go on dialysis had CDT and got 3yrs 6 months remission have now started on velcade had three rounds of it so far it seems ok at the moment hoping to get a good remission from it
