Hi Fiona,I’m near Manchester. I had my treatment ten years ago, chemo then stem cell transplant. I’m happy to buddy up if you can’t find anyone closer to your home.
If you are, I will send you my email address. I’m due to the NAC in February 24.

My name is lesley ( female, boys so is Leslie!!)

That’s no problem. I only tell my story as I hope it inspires others. I fell into a very deep dark pit after my sct but thanks to my dr and copious amounts of counselling I am here today to hopefully support others. Xx

We had a tough few years myself and my boys but as I say I’m now 9 years post! I attend London once a year and go 3 monthly to Manchester royal Infirmary ( where I had my stem cell) every 3 months. No further treatment so far but I do say that with caution!

Hi all
Matt I think it is a very scary process and I guess it’s something everyone feels as we are all different in how we react. My recovery, I think, was longer than normal. I lost my husband during cycle 4 of my chemo and that same year I also had my sct. I look back and know I hadn’t grieved properly so my recovery was quite long.
I’m 9 years post sct on the 19th November. The years have gone by so quickly. I still have weak legs on incline ( this took me to the dr in the first place) and I get tired more easily ( number one complaint I believe).
Hope I have answered everything every one asked. So sorry if not. X

Hi Matt and Claire
Great to connect with you both
Matt I’m just outside of Manchester. I commute to the NAC once a year. I’m a bit of a veteran as it’s 9 years post Sten cell transplant on 19th November

Claire, that’s great you’ve completed yr six months chemo. It feels never ending doesn’t it?

How are you both feeling. It’s a scary road even now for me but we Amy patients do support one another

I’m extremely grateful to Ellen Watters from myeloma for supporting me every step of the way

Hopefully we can stay in touch?

Leslye xx
