Hi And

Sorry things aren't moving on treatment wise. We will all keep our fingers crossed that the professor can come up with something.

One thing occurs to me. You say you are still having back pain. Have you seen the pain specialist? Maybe you need a higher daily dose of morphine. Here they take the line that you shouldn't have pain…[Read more]

Hi Aleathea

Welcome from me too. What a blow for you and your Mum both to be diagnosed with cancer. Life isn't fair, is it. No wonder you have had times of feeling depressed.

As you are on route to SCT I presume you are quite young! That's hard to cope with too, but at least, as others will confirm, you are hopefully on the way to a long…[Read more]

Hi Ali
Good to hear things are going ok with your mum,
You make sure you take it easy as when this is over ,I think it,s when the hard work begins for the person who is doing the caring,it can be a very emotional thing as well as being aware that it takes so much energy away from your mum.
I kept the Grandchildren away for the first month,and…[Read more]

Hi Jo

They said that the cells had been producing Pp for 6 years and then for the past 4 months the PP's were dropping and are now at 8. Consultant went on about rogue cells and made a comment about non-secretory but I got the info from the Myeloma nurse. Am doing research on it.

Will be thinking of you on Monday, good luck
