My husband was diagnosed at the beginning of this year, he is 76 so unable to have SCT and like your husband he is in a lot of pain mainly in his lower back. They are looking at fitting him with a brace to see if it will help his walking as his mobility is bad but hoping it will improve with the chemo. He is on VCD, 3rd cycle of 6, and up to now he has responded well but I do know it can change. However, there seems to be a lot of treatments out there and it is just sometimes finding the right combination. If you are on facebook you should join the Myeloma UK Support Group, there is a wealth of information on there and they are so supportive. I do wish you well and hope that your husband starts feeling a bit better soon xx

Thank you so much for responding. I have been told not too worry about the staging as it is not so important as with other cancers and I wish now I had not asked as it is at the back of my mind although I am trying to stay on the positive side as I do not want hubby to think I am really worried. I am also on the fb Myeloma UK Support Group who have made similar reassuring comments and some people have not had STC and do seem to be doing well so that has made me feel better as I concerned that without this his chances were not as good. I hope that you continue to do well and thank you once again for taking the trouble to write. Sandy
