    Hi Jo

    No not possible round trip of at least 160 miles,journey alone with bone pain would be bad for him.

    It,s not so much the myeloma trials,It is the conditions which seem to go hand in hand with it,Slim complained of pain in side for a long time,we thought bone pain, when the cat scan was done turns out lots of wedge shape holes plus…[Read more]

    Hello Eve

    Is there any way you can change hospitals and get into one of the London units with such better standards of care I believe Kings and UCH are really good I attend Uch they cannot be more careful and caring do you think now Slim is home he could take the journey I really do hope the CDT works for him
    and he will feel better soon

    Hi Carol

    Sorry to hear about your Pain:-( no one should have to suffer the pain.

    I see you do Horse riding (they scare me) I hope it isn't that that causes the pain? I know after I do things at home/garden I normally suffer a bit of pain.

    I am about 16 Months post stem cell transplant and am in remission.

    Good luck on your pain…[Read more]

    Hi Min like Peter I am now over 3 inches shorter than I used to be my remission lasted 18 months , which is not a very long one but neither is a very short one . It is an interesting thought though I have not seen anything to suggest spinal damage might affect remission time Hopefully you will get lots of answers which give an overall picture…[Read more]

    Hi Carol welcome to our happy little band , I am sure you will get lots of replies. Bone pain is very common and doesnt necessarily go after an sct . Your consutant doesnt sound very helpful perhaps if you had a chat with the specialist nurse and rxplained how difficult it makes life being in constant pain . I have extensive bone damage and the…[Read more]

    I often read posts and don't respond, but I really wanted to write to wish Peter AND you, all the luck in the world on the journey you have ahead of you.
