Hi Suzanne10

I am 72, currently on my 3rd cycle of VCD and have similar problems with my legs although not as severe as your father. I also suffer from occasional depression although not for long. I have had SCT which kept me in remission for 2 years.
This disease affects people in so many different ways and a positive attitude is required. I think counselling is a good idea and I would suggest you contact Macmillan who have strong links with Myeloma UK.

Regards John B

Hi Katy,

I am 72 and have had MGUS followed by CDT treatment starting in 2013. I agree entirely with annlynn. During the CDT I had trouble coping with the steroids and the stem cell transplant (June 2014) is tough but at the other side now and fingers crossed, feel fine and have just started going to the Gym to keep the rest of the old body ticking over.

As annlynn states it would be a good idea to provide some food especially coming up to Christmas.

Best wishes to you and your mum
