Hi Ben
My husband sees 4 different consultants at our clinic in Larbert, Scotland. We have found this beneficial as one consultant said he would not get a SCT as he was refactory but another put him forward for SCT which he had on 14 May and found it wasn’t too bad and was home in 16 days. We are still waiting for the results of SCT but he feels better so fingers crossed.
Our nearest myeloma specialist is in Glasgow which is 35 miles away but we would be willing to travel if things do not go to plan as he gets the standard NHS treatment at the moment unless he goes for a trial, the consultants do not mix treatments.
Ask questions and seek a don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion, after all it is your life.
