Hi Mandy
Why not ask him what he would do if he was in your position,????? But still get another opinion?????,they all have different school of thoughts.

Hi Carol
Slim had the opposite of you,when they put it in it took over 4 hours,lot of pain,and because of this when it was removed it was day surgery,it just slipped out,after being in for a very long time!!!
If it’s painful get it removed!!!!,did they realise they left it behind????
It should be a day job surgery.

The news is not good,but from previous post you new this was going to be that way,Mandy you had no remission so you are high risk and it’s not great for people in this situation, you have good things on your side,you are young enough to have a back to back SCT,you have a family to keep you going,this is all good.

Hi Keith
Yes the Dex keeps me awake but it will only be for last nite and the Velcade (if it’s same as last five lots) and will need aka ram to wake me up.
The mouthwash like David said should be supplied by the hospital and don’t forget use it near as much as you use the loo and some. That extra extra use helped me no end.
Good luck with it…[Read more]
