Just got back on the forum and read this post.

I had my SCT Dec 2010. I get small acne type bumps which are mildly itchy. However, I get only one or two, normally on my forehead and neck and they seem to go as fast as they come so I would not describe it as a rash.

Hy Gilll, fastly abot the speling. I am, and always have been, a terrible speller this is compounded by being a lousy typist as well! I was so pleased when Word Processors came along with a Spell Checker. What I do is type my missive in Microsoft Word and then ?copy and paste?, which is exactly what I am doing now.

Interested about the Flu…[Read more]

Hi Ivan, just so you can compare my Paraprotien were 33 when a Tumour in my neck ate my 4th Vertebrae. After Radio/operation/Chemo and an SCT I am now at 2.3 and have been there since November 2010. This is for information only and as Helen says it can be different in each person so do not take my readings, for example, as a bench mark for…[Read more]

Hi Sandy, I am from Somerset so regret I cannot help you with your Hospital.

I had my SCT in early December. My local hospital seems to treat SCT differently to the others. I was kept in for a full 3 weeks after the procedure and just got out in time for Christmas. And, again, the facilities were different, mine was first class. I had a…[Read more]

Hi Amelia,

I think there is an element in us all that deep inside we want to believe that really there is nothing wrong with us and if we just keep working hard it will all disappear and go away. Unfortunately, with MM, it might disappear from view for awhile but it never goes away.

As you know I am 68 and retired but I still have my Job…[Read more]

Dear Min, Thank you for a powerful and brave post.

Right from the diagnosis of my mm I asked for the REAL prognosis, two to three years. The Surgeon who repaired my neck came and had a chat with me before we parted company. During the conversation he said, ?If I have to die of a cancer I would choose MM, it at least gives you time to say the…[Read more]
