Hi Laura and Jacquie I am so sorry for your loss, I can only offer you my kindest thoughts at what must be the most difficult of times. I too am due to go in on Sunday for my first SCT and after my appointment Monday I have been in turmoil. I have so many questions and after reading all the posts here I have even more!
Rebecca I am 55 I too have underlying problems, I have two mechanical heart valves and have been told that the risk is 5% , the doctor was quite blunt and said as I am on blood thinning meds I could have a bleed or I could get an infection that goes to my heart- what do I do I want to feel well and get on with life- I have three wonderful grandchildren, the oldest only 5 – how long can we fight myeloma without a SCT?
