Hi Miles
My wife was diagnosed with igD MM (a very rare form) last July. She is 61 and always been very fit, sporty and healthy. As you can imagine it came as an absolute bombshell! 1 year later she has had 4 cycles of VTD with hardly any after effects and a stem cell transplant at The Christie in Manchester (we are in Cheshire). She is now in remission and feeling better and better and has started on lenalidomide maintenance. Last week we were in the Lakes and Julie was managing 8 mile walks (she could hardly walk when it all started). Please be positive and read all you can. Julies health team have been amazing and we have trust in them. Please tell your Mum that although scary to begin with, after the initial treatments You come to terms with everything and you can carry on with life and hope remissions last for years and years.
Much love, Simon
