    Hi,

    I am very grateful  to all who took the time to reply. My thanks to Graeme, Mark, Wallace Richard & Annlyn and I think I have forgotten one more name?

    While your experiences have been varied it has been very helpful and encouraging.

    Its the first time I’ve used a forum and won’t be the last.

    I’ll be speaking to the medical team on Tuesday then in early July be assessed for a SCT.

    Thanks again and  all the best to each one of you.

    Steve

    Graeme,

    Many thanks for your positive response. I am 66 yrs old, so we sound a similar age? I am still working but next March is my retirement, if not earlier in the circumstances. I have a good support network in my wife family and friends.

    Appreciating we are all different in how we will respond, it is nevertheless helpful to hear of your experience, though the final decision has to be mine. A few & final questions then, if you can bear with me.

    How was your health prior to diagnosis?

    From what I have read it can take up to 6 months to fully recover?

    How are you now managing day to day?

    Would you say your energy levels are back to what they were before your diagnosis?

    What treatment if any are you now undergoing?

    Did you need lots of injections measles, chicken pox etc. post treatment to restore  your immune system?

    Many thanks,

    Steve
