Hi, I started VCD 5 weeks ago and have been having strange weird feelings or kind of everything is an effort has anyone else experienced this type of effect. Also did you report it to the team looking after you???

A long journey ahead of us all I think. No matter who we are this news effects us all, but it’s nice to know we are not alone. I had my PET-SCAN Friday traveling from Torquay to Plymouth, fell asleep during the scan which helped. Hope to start other treatment this week coming.My neighbor next door had cancer so have been asking him questions about chemo, how he felt and hair loss which never happened, as I like my hair. Anyway stay safe and most of all be POSITIVE we will get through this. I am lucky reall as there are no buses running past my house.

Rebecca, sorry for being a little negative at the start of my post it was a shock to learn that I have a blood cancer, however I was planning on being around a little more than what I was told, I aim to see my grandsons grow into adulthood.

Thank you for reminding me to be more positive.

Stay safe.

Hi everyone, This forum has taken me by surprise, Being at the ripe old age of 69 it was a shock to hear that so many of you are a lot younger than myself. I was diagnosed only last week with Myeloma. Although I had been ill back in June with pyrexia and a kidney injury spending 5 days in hospital coming out and then having a biopsy in August on my prostate to finding no cancer and then back in hospital in September for 7days and finally someone telling me I might have Myeloma but require a biopsy. Well the only question I had was how long. 5/8 years was the reply, not bad I thought make me 74. However reading all the posts it has made me feel humble that there are so many of you being positive about your conditions, as long as we are kicking there is always hope. I thank you for that. Dennis
