Hi Andy and you to Vicky
Vicky we are all a bit paranoid ,that's why everyone says its like a roller coarser lots of highs and lows,you are both expecting to much,if you look at SCT as major surgery,then you would not expect to be fit. Andy Tom everyone else will say listen to your body.

Glad to hear that Slim has no more lesions. You just seem to be banging your head against a brick wall. Can Ellen or Maggie give you any advice. Franks consultant said that the PET scan was needed to detect how active if at all the Myeloma is. There is no proteins in the blood and as they had been dropping for some months before treatment…[Read more]
