Hi Jo

Lovely to hear from you,I have been thinking about you and wondering what was going on specially with the Damocles falling a little bit.

Thank you for information on Velcade I did not know about the second batch of Velcade only that it can be used again on patients who have responded well first time round,all good news.

How are you Jo??…[Read more]

Just wanted to say good luck to everyone,although it’s a big thing for the individual having this procedure ,ita an every day thing to the staff,expect to be emotional and do not worry if you have an odd accident,nothing they have not seen or done before.

It’s a bit lonely in isolation,so make sure you have home comforts around you,this is the…[Read more]

Dusk if you are a Myeloma person,please think about putting you name plus picture,and explaining your story,because that,s what this site is about,helping people!!!!

Stop trying to scare people,this Myeloma is scare enough,specially for people who do not prefer to know a lot about it,it’s there choice,educate yourself by all means learn as much…[Read more]

Hi. Dusk

Well I would not call my husbands journey great,far from it,I also do not think being late diagnosed determines how long you will live,it just means that you have far more damage to your bone structure,it’s getting the Myeloma under control that is the hard one and that depends on what type of Myeloma you have and how aggressive it…[Read more]

Can I join in this post,as a few on here realise what my husbands position is at present .

I think more could be done by GP to get a quicker result,and yes I know it is rare plus back ache could be a number of things!!!!,but a simple blood or urine test should be done as routine!!

The facts concerning treatment,NICE has 3 treatments on Board…[Read more]

Hi Peggy

Thank you very much for replying and specially for the information,Slim is a little bit different from you but I am assuming you had platelets every time you had Velcade?????

We are going to the Royal Marsden in Sutton this coming Tuesday,Slims consultant has arranged a second opinion,
The problem Slim has is that after 3 recommended…[Read more]

Hi Mandy

You must be feeling awful at the moment,but it sounds if you were just waiting for your worst fears to be confirmed.

I think you are doing the right thing getting a second opinion,check if your consultant is a myeloma expert rather than just a haematology expert,in theory you are going to be an unusual case,you do not mention your…[Read more]
