Hi everyone, first let me say a big thank you to all of you, I have been reading this site since my husband was diagnosed with Myeloma in March of this year. Now he is in the 11th week of CDT only another 7 to go. He is coping really well with the treatment and everything is going as it should so they tell us. The only thing that bothers him is the steroids everthing else he can cope with so he says. He had to have them reduced from 40mgs to 20mgs due to chest pain. A couple of days after they are finished he feels rotten then he is fine again a few days before the next lot start. The myeloma was discovered after an accident at work. He has no pain at the moment the only thing with him is he is bored as he cannot go to work due to the side effects of some of the drugs. We are hoping to have the SCT in September. As we live on an island we have to travel to Southampton General for the transplant. The consultant we see is very helpful with the questions we have asked, at first he didn't want to know anything now he is coming round as I tell him about some of the people off the site. Not too many details though. As I am a nurse I thought it wouldn't be too bad on me who was I kidding. Now I must stop going on and once again thank you all, you have helped me immensley.
Babs
