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 .
