Hi Pat
Welcome to the club no-one wants to join. Sorry you find yourself here but you are in the right place for support and to rant and rave if you want. You are not a wuss and dont apologise, it is a worying time for you. Although my husband has had Myeloma for 6 years he has been smoulding and has just started treatment. I'm still a novice…[Read more]

Dear Gill

You have nothing to apologise for, that's what the forum is for. I know if I didn't rant I would go mad. I hope the 'wizard' can work some magic and help ease Stephen's pain. I know it's hard to watch someone you love in pain but I hope Gill that things get easier for Stephen and that you can take things a bit easier. My thoughts are…[Read more]

Dear Gill

I can only say again what the others have said (but not as well). I just wanted you to know that you and Stephen are in my thoughts and prayers. I send you love and hugs as well and please know that you have lots of friends here that have you in their hearts

Hi Charlie

Frank has just started 3rd cycle of CDT. First month drove him nuts with hiccoughs, they went on for hours. The consultant put him on Nexium. It helped a bit, second month she increased it and so far he has only hic coughed a little. When it starts he takes natural yoghurt and it stops them. Hope all goes well with you.
Take care
Love Jean

Dear Teresa and Judy

Hi Dai
We are new to the Dex. Frank is starting the 3rd cycle tomorrow. He is ok while taking the Dex (touch wood -has been first 2 cycles). His problems starts when he stops. First cycle he was off the planet for about 4 days. On the second cycle consultant suggested that he was weaned off it – that did not work as he was off the planet for…[Read more]

Hi Ian

Somone else with a better memory will be able to tell you more. If you do a search on…[Read more]

Dear Etta

I am so very sorry for the passing of your sister. Life can deal us some terrible blows but this is a brilliant place to rant as much as you like. My sympathies are with you and your family. Please take care of yourself

I'm so sorry to hear that Steve is having a hard time stem cell collection. I'm still new to this treatment (frank hopes to have SCT after his cycles of CDT are over) and no nothing about plerixaforbut I will keep everything crossed for him for tomorrow and pray that all goes well. Enjoy your holiday.
