    Hi Tina

    I don't remember having any problem with my appetite straight after CDT but I did have days during the dex. bits when I only had small portions. After the dex days I ate anything in sight!

    Also, I had major appetite loss after my stem cell harvest and during and after my STC.

    My taste buds definitely changed too. I preferred…[Read more]

    Hi Andrea

He just started CDT in June and has 3 more cycles to go before STC. Andrea I know its difficult not to worry (I'm the best at that) but we had a great 6 years, doing things that…[Read more]

    Hello Jacquie

    All of us MM'ers fully understand Geoff's (and your) shock. It's as if an express train has mowed you down isn't it?
    All I can say is, once you've unscrambled all those illogical, confused thoughts and have come to terms with what MM is and the incredible amount of treatment that's available for it, you'll be much calmer and will…[Read more]

    Hi Dilini

    Am sorry to say but I think all the meds and even just the MM makes you weary tired, and the only advice I can give for your Father is rest when his body tells him to rest and not fight that one, do when he can and it will all take its course in your fathers road to remission.
    Good Luck on that road.

  • Yes, I know what you mean about the mix-up with Myeloma and Melanoma.
    If I do tell people what I have I always say Myeloma first, then when I get the blank look I usually say "bone marrow cancer". The trouble is I then get the shocked look swiftly followed by one of pity. (I hate that!)

    Hi Vicki and Colin

    Long Long Day for you both? it just shows how the bloods run amoke at time then settle down.

    are they putting the chemo into Colin too fast?? I think if they slow it down a bit its less side effects?? its worth a ask.

    Give him My best when you get up at 5.
