Yep they the experts alright…. ar my siberian husky loved my insomnia as I walked her at all hours of the nite n morning 🙂

You will get there julie and your family will help you…they go thru all this with us and i sometimes had to be there for them also in the early days as its tough on them to as you will know

In the early days I felt because I had mm ide some how let them down as a dad which now looking back was daft but its a rollercoaster of emotions and with the meds they give us it all gets a little crazy.. but all we can do is keep living and everyday is a blessing 🙂

I stay positive and upbeat because of my 16 yr old son..I aint goin nowhere julie he needs me 🙂

Speak soon

Take it easy

Hi julie

No probs its good to talk and get peoples opinions and their experiences..I started CTD tablet chemo for the first 6 month of my treatment thats the steroid chemo and thalidomide tablets with the daily injections and it sent me a bit funny the first couple of month, anxious no sleep and moods all over the place but I learnt how to manage them, but like everything with this silly annoying gremlin :)its à scary first couple of month as it takes time mentally and emotionally for it to sink in.

I dont know much about the treatment you are on tbh and it sounds like you have had a rough couple of months but you are still fighting and thats the most important thing.

Get this course of the treatment out of the way and dont focus to much on the stem cell treatment as thats a while away…remember one step at a time…but have trust in freemans they know whats best for us…I still get bone treatment once a month and my para protiens are next to nothing and long may it continue 🙂

Hi

Well done for looking at a positive website and charity like this..This is the only site you should look at..its official and factual…try not to be scared of the facts…saying that it took me about 3 month to get over my mm diagnosis and shock..Ime 48 and was diagnosed this month last year…I was put on my combination treatment for 6 month and got thru it after getting used to some of the side effects that will affect people differently but that’s why you have to look at this website for advice because it will have the answers you will need.

I had stem cell transplant and high dose chemo in April at freeman and spent 2 weeks with the fantastic staff..I had recovery time of 3 month and then did a sponsored walk up the lakes for bright red raising £1229….stay strong and let your family and friends help you…you will get through it .. try to take small steps as this silly cancer can with treatment can be managed …but please get advice and ask questions of the people with the right answers ie the nurses at freeman and myeloma uk…my brother did the gnr for myeloma UK 🙂

We are all hear for you…I was very very poorly when I was diagnosed last year but ime here and living life to the full 🙂

Stay positive 🙂

Hi mel.

I was diagnosed with mm last october, then had my bone marrow biopsy to see whatwhat was goin on…I was given a seditive through a libe in my hand and I was out like a light 🙂 best 10 mins sleep I had had in a long time..woke up a little drowsy but no problem half hour later…dont worry they will give you a sedative if you ask.

Take care

Hi

I was diagnosed october 2013 last year…a fit active 47 yr old I started treatment 3 days after the initial diagnosis, 6 month of combination treatment then in may I had high dose chemo and stem cell transplant….after the <span style=”font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;”>initial shock of being told I had cancer which took at least 3 month to sink in my life was a blur…your mam will need to talk to proffesdionals so she has all the information so she can make her own choices…its not easy but it seems to be the only way to prolong life…I look at it like ive been cheated out of 20 years as this cancer usually affects older people, we all have our reasons to live and mine is my 16 yr old son …I want to live as long as I can for him…life is precious but the choice is always the individuals..Ime sure your dad would want your mam to live as long as she can but I understand your mams wishes also…the cancer will progress thats fact and your mam will become ill and in pain without having the treatment.</span>

Awe I wish your mam and your family who by the way go through the emotional pain of cancer with the loved one all yhe best for whatever the future choices are.

My saying is justjeepfighting till you cant fight no more
