Thanks Maureen. I’ll get him to talk to his consultant. I think he was worried that second time around, after having undergone high dose chemotherapy, it might be harder for him to produce the much needed stem cells. It’s good to know there are drugs available.

Thank you for your time,

Hi Helen

Great to hear from you and thanks for replying to my post. Good to know that you have positive things to say about FRH, my dad certainly seems very happy with his care so far and he'll love the Black pudding tip, one of his faves!! I'll let dad know about your visit this week and if he's in any fit state, I'm sure he'd love to see you.

Good luck with everything and thanks so much again,

Thanks so much for your reply Megan, it's really helpful to hear everyone's tips. I know my dad won't like not having many visitors as he loves company but I'm also aware that he might not be feeling as sociable as he was prior to the SCT. It's going to be hard keeping him from his grandchildren for a while but hopefully once he's stronger we can get to see him more.

His love of chocolate was something to behold when he was on the CTD cycle, it will be interesting to see if this remains the same when he gets home.

Thanks so much for replying. It's great to know there's a community out there all going through similar things.

Good luck with everything and I'll give you all an update soon,

Thank you Jean,

It's great to hear from people who've had first-hand experience of the SCT and caring for the person with MM. My mum's pretty keen on house-work so I'm sure she'll take great pleasure in keeping the place spotless and germ-free! Good tip about the mouth wash, dad's mouth seems to be ok at present but he's only 1 week in. I'll give you all an update in a few months time.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, it means a lot,

Thanks Tony,
My dad has had a real taste for the chocolate too!
It's great to hear from people who've had first hand experience of the SCT and I will let dad see your post when he gets out. My two girls 8 & 6 mean the world to him and I think that's going to be the hardest part, not seeing them as much as he'd like to over the coming months, but hopefully that can be rectified once he's feeling stronger.
Great news about your PP levels. Hope you enjoy your drug-free time ahead,
Thanks so much,
Fi
