    I had to have 2 tries and after the 2nd I had enough to store away for a second SCT if needed.

    Hope you do not mind me emailing you but I saw that your husband had 2 SCT's.

    I am a newcomer to this site. I have had MM for 5yrs now and after having VAD and a SCT in 2007 I have been in remission until now. On my last visit to the specialist I was told that my paraprotien level had re-appeared and was at 6. This was a big shock and I am now wondering what will happen next.
    I was told that I would have follow up…[Read more]
