Hi Ozzy
Yes, I too had a bit of a husky voice while on CDT. Glad to say it is now back to normal. My eyes were also a bit cloudy sometimes. Also gone now.
Best wishes.

Hi susan
I have got a bit confused with this post. My experience is that my mobility problems are because of bone problems and not because of drugs. I have had soreness with my toes and bottom of my legs. I have found it difficult to find comfortable shoes – in fact I haven't!
All best wishes.

mhnevill replied to the topic About to begin treatment – but which one ? in the forum Newcomers 11 years, 10 months ago
Hi Lesley,
Just wanted to say welcome from me. I went down the traditional route of CDT which worked well for me, but I am full of admiration for those of you who go on Trials. I do send you my best wishes and hope your experience is one of the really good ones!
Love Mavis

Hi Tina
Very interested to hear you are on the Trial. Can't remember, did you have a SCT?
Sorry you have got this annoying itchy side effect! Hope the alternative treatment works for you. I wish you a long and event free remission.
All best wishes.

Hi Jenny
Sorry you are feeling so crap at the moment. Sorry I don't have any experience of your particular regime, but wanted to send good wishes. I'm sure that someone will come along with some sensible advice, but do let your medical team know how low you are feeling so they can help.
Very best wishes.

Hi Susan
So sorry that you have been diagnosed with MM, but welcome to the Discussion Group, we aren't a bad lot! I find it very helpful.
I finished six rounds of CDT on October and responded very well and am currently in full remission. I just had two Thalidomide tablets each night. I had always decided not to go down the route of SCT…[Read more]

Hi Sarah Jane
Good luck with trying to get your blood results. I try to use the Diary, but I seem to have considerable difficulty getting mine. Not helped by the fact that results of PP levels seem to take a fortnight so are never available at Consultations. Am often promised a letter or phone call, but they don't come!
Other results to…[Read more]

So sorry your Dad has relapsed. I can understand how worrying this is for you and difficult for you to cope with. I can see why you are asking "how long", but as otheres has said, it is just not possible to say. From what I have seen, not even Consultants can be certain until the very last weeks. Things are so much better and…[Read more]

Hiya there..
I am really sorry to hear of your diagnosis but please don't lose faith. My name is Kerry, it's my partner Melv that has Myeloma. He is 39 years old.
Myeloma seems so complicated doesn't it? So hard to get your head around but there is so many treatment options as I'm sure that you have found today.
How did your appointment…[Read more]

What a blow that the Bendamustine seems to be loosing its grip. As you say, you are in God's hands – is there a better place? It still doesn't mean we don't have to battle on. I was very impressed by one of the participants on this week's "Songs of Praise". He was a paraolympic who was trying out bionic legs. He said, at the…[Read more]
