Hi Maureen
My husband did 6 cycles after CTD failed for him,tolerated it very well,went on to SCT and is now in remission .hope every thing goes well with your husband.
Time soon passes,the worst thing was having to go to the hospital bloods in the morning then home and back again twice a week,use to look forward to the week off.Eve

Hi Tina
Would agree with Tom,you have along way to go,Slim has the same problem,try sucking sweets helps with moisture ,Slim is getting a bit better,but sometimes he goes to speak,and because his mouth is so dry,he does not make sense.Always carries drinks with him no matter were we go.Eve
