Hi folks, I find it so interesting reading how other people,s response to treatment differs, I was diagnosed with mm in November 2017, the local oncology/haematology dept where brilliant, as I am not the best of patients, my chemo journey compared to what others describe was a piece of cake, dexomethasone however it’s spelt another drug cycotropic something or other and velcade injections, ongoing zometa and later immuglobin infusions later, the velcade did make my fingerpads slightly numb and the Dex gave me insomnia but only on the night after I took it, I’ve had about 18 months with low counts but now the paraprotines are now starting to rise, which is a little disappointing, unfortunately copd prevents me from having the stem cell treatment, but all is not lost as I seem or my body seems to respond well to treatment, just have to wait and see if the raised count is just a blip, apparently my counts do seem to go up and down, anyone else have this occurrence?. Might I ask, does anyone still travel abroad during or after second line treatment, I seem to struggle to find reasonable travel insurance after first line treatment.
