Aye, it is a tricky bugger and no 2 cases are the same, which makes it even more difficult.
Wishing you well.

Hi Tom, just read this, I get pains in the same part of my spine, ribs and sternum, I am still on Zomorph, I was told I will always have some pain as there was a lot of bone damage (late diagnosis), so I just have to control it. I had my sct in January 2013, so if my appetite goes or I am more tired, or pain is worse, I worry that it’s coming…[Read more]

Ian’s FLC came down from 1200 to 600 after 1 cycle of revlimid and dex. Hope this will continue to reduce his FLC?
He is now also driving which gives us both more independance and has lifted his mood except on dex days when I tend to go for a walk when he gets impatient .

Thanks Tony,
I will say hi if I see her, never seem to get the same consultant twice in a row nowadays. Although I heard from Dr Garg recently, (emails) regarding holidays. She gave thumbs up as I am in remission! ;-).

Yesterday was 19th months since SCT, I am well (apart from ongoing back pain, and a sore on back that won’t heal), but knowing how quickly thisawful thing can change can get one down sometimes!
So now I have said my…[Read more]

We don’t have the cancer drug fund in Scotland either and pomalidomide has been refused here. Hoping it will be passed as it will be Ian’s next treatment if revlimid fails.
