Hi,
My husband is due to finish his chemotherapy this week having had 4 cycles, he will have at least a month off & then around 27th Sept he will have the line put in, in readiness for the SCT & the harvest done on the 30th & transplant done around 3 weeks later providing a bed is available. The chemo has been tough as Glenc says he feels good on chemo day Thursday & good Fri & Sat & by Sunday rubbish. He too has mobility issues as he had a tumour removed from his spine in Dec due to myeloma, he struggles to walk & has had physio but with the treatment he finds it really hard to build his strength needed to walk, we’re not sure how much the op has affected his walking but hope after the chemo finishes he may gain more strength & improve before the next onslaught SCT. He’s not looking forward to it & to be honest neither am I, I do take comfort in the fact though that most people seem to accept that this is the best way forward in delaying this disease for a bit & maybe getting your life back into some semblance of normal but there is a lot to go through to get to the gain. We like every one else in the group hope that things go well & I know that I am going to have to be strong for him & our family. Is there anything anyone can say to make us feel this is really worth it?
