Yes that’s the best way to try and keep a level head (I know it’s not easy). If you have a good myeloma specialist that you deal with you will be fine as they will prepare you for the transplant. Hope all goes well with treatment.

Hi

If it’s a auto transplant this is were your own cells are collected  (good ones) you will go in for a day (may have to go a second day depends how many cells are collected on day 1) they will be sent off to be frozen. You will then go into hospital  (isolation) not on the same day you will sort a date with your consultant  you will then receive high dose chemo then your cells will be given back to you, you will stay in hospital until your bloods start coming back as normal. You will be sent home with plenty of trips back to hospital for general blood tests and most of all look after your self when you are out of hospital.

Hi jayne954

We’re is your dad’s pain ? If it’s in the spine have you asked about cementing my wife has a lot of pain in her spine due to really bad back damage we have 1 more scan to see if they can help her with pain by cementing. You did say your dad has just started treatment if the cycle he is on works (I’m sure it will) it will ease the pain my wife could not walk at one point when she was diagnosed now after 4 months of vtd cycle and a very good response and not long done a autologous stem cell transplant and she is going to do a allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Gary.

What stage was you at and are you high risk? Hope you all the best in your myeloma journey.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi everyone hope you are all doing well as can be on your myeloma  journey.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Any body out there that can tell me how they felt on the VTD CYCLE. My wife was diagnosed back in October last year and the VTD CYCLE has wiped her off her feet on every cycle we are on the last one  ( cycle 4) then she’s going for a autologous stem cell transplant very soon.</p>
