Hi Helen

Having been through exactly the same as you last February I really do sympathise – the treatment really does dry your skin out and the lines look as if they are there to stay. However, I can honestly tell you they will go away but you might have to work at it a bit.

I felt very frail in myself but I did try to eat as well as…[Read more]

Hope you are keeping well and things are not too bad.

Hi Ali,

I'm Dai… I have been treated at the City Hospital since June 2009… the staff and medics at the City are excellent and the set-up for stem cell harvest and the SCT (in their own Haematology suites are second to none.

Hi Ali
Welcome to the site,

Hello Jean

I also had two spells in Hospital in early days with infection's and here i am SCT in Dec 209 and sat here healthy (if not wealthy Lol) and doing great.

The best place for us when not on top of the MM is Hospital as we get stronger drugs that work faster than the take home ones ?

Hope Frank is soon Better.

Love and Hugs…[Read more]
