Hi June

Sory to hear about your relapse,

had my CTD and Stem Transplant in 2009, but it kicked back in last december.#

I just had my Velcade (Cycle four week three)  I have Velcade, Dex and Zometa.

I am doing great with it albeit tired a lot but I listen to my body and when it tells me to sleep I sleep Ha ha.

I asked my Consultant Dr Jalihal…[Read more]

Hi Graeme

Good Luck and…[Read more]

Hi Graham

Sorry for the delay in my reply, but a warm welcome.

I am age 58 now and had my treatment CDT in feb 2009 leading up to my SCT in December 2009 was in remission and drug free for four years,

So what you are going through is a doable but you will have to listen to your body and when it tells you to rest rest its the only way.
