    Eve,

    I agree with everything that you have said. Everyone on here has helped me so much over the last 3years and probably without really knowing it because I don't post that much. I always pop in to see what's going on with everyone and class you all as my friends 🙂

    I agree with you too David, makes me realise how 'lucky' I am at…[Read more]

  • Hi Carol, Fantastic that your pp is zero!! Well done! I had Revlimid for 18 months after my SCT but I wasn't on the trial, I live in France. I was very tired and suffered side effects on the Revlimid but they did get easier and more manageable over time 🙂

    Eve i'm so sorry your hubby is suffering so much and I really hope your trials nurse…[Read more]

    Morning all,
    I am 2yrs 1 month post transplant and have achy legs! It's mainly my left leg from the groin down to my knee, but my right leg does ache but not quite so much. It's very painful at times and I hobble about like an 83 yr old instead of 43…apologies to all 83yr olds out there 😉 With regards to energy levels, mine are alot better…[Read more]

  • Hi yes I saw it, what a brave young man he was. I was in floods of tears too, it was so moving. I missed the first part, what cancer was he actually diagnosed with? His girlfriend/wife was such an amazing young lady too, and all his family were so strong. It was a powerful documentary, Alex was an absolute inspiration bless him.

  • Hi Debs, Jet & everyone

    Sorry i've only just come back on and read your posts. The mouthwash I was given is called CAPHOSOL consisting of blue & transparent pippets and you have to mix one of each together. Remember i'm in France so i'm not sure if hospitals in the UK use them. Here's a link to it so you can see what it looks like, or you may…[Read more]

  • Hi Jet, I had my SCT just over 2yrs ago and being honest I didn't think it was as bad as I was expecting it to be. I live in France and my treatment was first class, I was given lots of preventative meds and I think this helped me alot. The day I went in I was put on a drip immediately to keep me hydrated and started on the mouthwash, it was a…[Read more]

  • lorrainey replied to the topic Revlamid in the forum Treatment 13 years, 10 months ago

    Hi everyone,

    I'm not sure if you remember or not but my Professeur took me off Revlimid 2 months ago to give my body a rest after being on it for 18 months. It finally put me in remission after a year but I suffered side effects quite badly hence the break. My pp started rising again in January albeit slowly but was very disappointing and I was…[Read more]

    Hi everyone, I don't post very often but I feel the need today! I've been on Revlimid since Oct 2009 after not having a very good response to my SCT. Revlimid has worked and put me in remission, it took a year but finally got there. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride with shingles, water & chest infections etc and the side effects but generally i've…[Read more]
