    Thanks for taking the time

    Hi Mervyn

    I am on my fourth cycle of velcade, dex and thalidomide and due to have a SCT October time so I would be very interested to read of your experiences. I must admit it’s the part of the treatment that I am nervous about.

    Good luck for Tuesday. I will be thinking of you.

    Helen
