It’s not a problem Chris and am sure it will work out well and I wish you luck I. Your decision whatever it is.
As for the myeloma we knew it would come back it’s just a when and how, am blessed with having no bone damage (that we know of) so that’s a blessing and as always it’s onwards and upwards.
Love Tom xx
