The noise is much worse and I am waiting to see an ENT specialist so I will let you know how I get on

Kind regards
Chris

Do you think it has anything to do with your treatment at all?

Kind regards

Thanks for this
The stem fell transplant is not a pleasant experience I won’t lie to you, but you can do it. If I can anyone can. I had mine 15 month ago and I’m currently in remission so try to think about the benefits it will bring and take the advice offered by the nursing staff and the many people on here who have gone through it…[Read more]

I am currently in remission after a stem cell transplant in Sept 2013. For the last 6 months I have felt a pressure and loud whistling in my left ear. My new GP says she thinks it could be an after effect of the chemotherapy. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
Thanks Chris

Tony is right, you can do it even though no one is saying it’s easy. I am one year post transplant and trying to lead a ‘normal’ life again.

Try to stay positive, things do get easier as time goes on

God bless

Thanks

Congratulations on your great news and on returning to work!
I am so happy for you

I was told in December that I was in remission and thought that I would just forget about Myeloma and get on with my life but that’s proving more difficult than I thought

You are doing the right thing I think, getting back to normality

I hope that it…[Read more]

I saw a consultant last week regarding vertibroplasty but was put off by the rare side effects e.g. possibility of being paralised or even death because of an embolism. Has anyone had this procedure done and if so how was it for you?

Thanks
Chris

You are such an inspiration
Can I ask did they take enough stem cells on your first harvest or do you need to go through that again?

It’s a hard time but you come out the other end and soon forget the awful days. I had my transplant in September and am now in remission so hang in there!

Thanks for your reply.
I have been having trouble logging in
I thought everyone was given the choice of maintenance treatment
It’s surprising how treatment differs in different areas

I’m so glad you have had no damage
Even though Im only just in remission I am worried about the return of the wretched thing!
I need to switch off from it and enjoy it
How long did it take you to start to enjoy it?

It’s a difficult decision to make and I appreciate your opinion.
It’s good to get the view of someone who has gone through it already
I did wonder whether I wanted to take even more drugs after the year I’ve had to be honest but then I think will I regret it if I don’t?
Eee decisions decisions

Not been on here for a while am struggling to find my way round.
I had my sct in Sept and was told on 23rd December that I was in full remission (Thankyou God)
I have been asked to consider going on the maintenance trial but reading all the side effects of Revlimid and Vorinostat scares me rather. I could do with some advice from anyone…[Read more]
