Hello David. Good luck with it all. If it helps, I had the chemo, steroids, thalidomide etc 2+ years ago. I had been a fit 65 year old before then. During the chemo it was discovered that I had a serious heart problem which ended up with me having open heart surgery, necessary to get the ticker right before any consideration of SCT. Which I had around Christmas 2011. I was ill for several months after but the good news is that I'm still here and haven't regretted for a second having SCT despite the risks.
I feel fitter now than anytime in the last two or three years, all thanks to the excellent treatment at UCH. Best of luck with your journey and your decisions.
Ian
