  • Hi allison

    You also have had a very rough time and hope that things can only get better. Welcome to our "family" (I'm sure you don't want to be here but they are a great bunch of people). If my hubby gets through CDT he will be having SCT.

    My very best wishes to you

    Hi

    Frank is coming to the end of his first cycle of CDT. We seem to go from one problem to another. He was feeling unwell this morning and phoned his Myeloma nurse. She is going to contact his consultant but she thinks it's thrush. If it is thrush will it interfere with his treatment? I am so worried about all these side effects and I realise…[Read more]

  • Rachael is right. I was so upset when I read it under treatment earlier. Thanks Eve and Tom for your comments. Put a smile on my face!!

  • Hi Jo

    Hope things go well tomorrow at the clinic, I know what you mean about worrying. No matter what people say to me I get so up tight before we go – lets know hw you get on. Franks back is giving him merry hell. We did mention it to consultant and she said to wait and see how he is when we go on Thursday. It took her 14 months to find out…[Read more]

    What a terrible time you have been through and so young. I'm sorry to have to welcome you to the site but you are in the right place so WELCOME. Although I have been a member of the forum for many years -6 to be exact – hubby diaganosed early – he has just started treatment past two weeks CDT. So I'm not experienced to give a lot of advice…[Read more]

    Hi Jennah

    Haven't experienced Chemo in hospital with Frank (on tablet form) but when my brother was having it his wife used to txt me to tell me he was snoring his head off!!

    Hi Mari

    I had just been saying to Frank a few minutes ago that I was going to phone Jackie our myeloma nurse tomorrow to clarify things but he said he would rather I didn't. He intends to speak to consultant when we see her next Thursday. Just hope Frank has no problem with reduced Thalidomide.

    Thanks Mari
    Love Jean xx

    Hey Vicki that's great news about Colin. Hope he goes from strength to strength. I thought that about the protein but I taped the conversation so I will listen to it and then ask her next Thursday.

    All the very best

    Thanks Keith

    It is the para protein. She was always please when it came down. But the decline has been dramatic and she said there was something going on. I emailed Ellen to ask her. So will see what she says.

    Thanks

    Hi All

    Just back from consultant, she is putting Frank on half doseage of thalidomide. She was very reluctant to stop it, she said the thought the reaction was coming from withdrawal of the Dex. Will try that and hope it works and can increase the dosage

    His blood were good. Calcium, WCC, HB,kidney function all normal. Β One thing was the…[Read more]
