Helen

I'm Helen and I'm in Newcastle, i was rejected from blood bank in october 2010 as I was anaemic and diagnosed myeloma in February 11, I've had the RCD arm of the myeloma xi trial, stem cell transplant in august and am in the revlimid maintenance arm from now, and I'm happy to say that I feel better now than I have for years, not back at work yet…[Read more]

Hello Roisin
Welcome to the site. You have a problem and a half with pa in law and everything else. Will he talk to a Macmillan nurse? You could suggest it with an eye to future needs and general health rather than 'care', they are good at getting things sorted out.
Good luck with this
Love Helen

DETERMINED up next NED

Roz I am sorry that you are having such a terrible time. Rachael has to see a counsellor because SHE wants to. She can't be forced to go. It takes courage but I had got to the end of tether. At one of our sesions, Declan ( consellor) started a discussion on a certain subject and I kept thinking to myself "Why is he talking about that, it has…[Read more]

Well I now have 3 mm of hair and it seems darker as it grows, does this mean grey hair grows faster than coloured hair?
Have now been randomised to revlimid arm for maintenance on myeloma xi trial, so hoping for very few side effects.

Hi David
Mm is a very complex thing isn't it. I've probably had it for about 5 years but knew nothing about it except for a gradual decline in my haemoglobin. When blood bank expelled me last year for being anaemic I never thought it would be something as scary as this. Did you go on the sct route I know it must be on here somewhere but I can't…[Read more]

Hi Roz

Is Rachael having counselling? At least she knows what the problem is and can get help. My sister had a similar problem when our mum died. She got it sorted.

Don't be scared of going to the counsellor. I think the most important thing is that you like your counsellor. First time I went I didn't like her and they changed me to…[Read more]

Hi David
Tumour just means 'lump', plasmacytoma is a lump with malignant plasma cells in it, peculiar to the myelomas, usually sited over central bones, spine, rib, hip, skull,sometimes in soft tissue too. Sometimes they are the start of mm, sometimes they come after and some people just get one, have it treated and never get another.

You look so lovely Gina take care of yourself ( and mum)

Roz I'm so glad that you have at last got an appointment. First appointment feels a bit weird but it does get better. I hope at long last you get sorted.

Keep strong

Hi Chrissie
