So sorry to hear this, I was lucky enough to meet Keith several times through MMUK and he was such a good guy. In fact I think Keith was the first person I ever spoke with at a Myeloma info day and it helped me greatly finding someone so down to earth at a time when I was still in denial about the whole thing.

Hi Keith, know where you are coming from resenting the myeloma coming back just when you get back on track….. I was really lucky getting 4 years out of my SCT but ironically I was feeling good for the first time when it came back! I have been SO determined to keep doing stuff this time…. Tho its getting harder. Jealous of your platelet counts!…[Read more]

Hi Keith, good to hear its going ok. Have just started cycle 4 of V and the fatigue effects see to be cumulative. Worse tho they seem to be harder to predict when bad days will hit. Still way easier than CVAD though.
Anyone else had muscle weakness with V?
