Hi everyone. My mum had her transplant In August 2012 and was then randomised to no drugs. All of her bloods have been great but when we went on Monday the levels of whatever they measure had risen to a 2. I can't help but feel so upset and disappointed. Is this the beginning of it coming back? ? I worry that she will be put on maintenance drugs…[Read more]

about 2 years ago my mum had problems with her ribs and was told that she had simply pulled a muscle whilst digging.
After numerous trips to the Doctor and several types of pain killers later, she demanded a chest x ray .

Once we had the diagnosis of Myeloma (be it not great) we were relieved to see that it wasn?t immediate death.
The doctors were shocked that she had Myeloma as they said it was quite rare for someone to have a…[Read more]

Hi Sandra,
Thank you so much for your message.
I guess you are right – the cancer doesnt care who it effects.
I hope you, your husband and family are well.
I'm finding the forum really useful with regards to support/answers 🙂

Hi all,
I am 27 and my Mum (64) was diagnosed with Myeloma in January.

I'm finding things pretty tough and was wondering if there was anyone of a similar age to me going through the same thing? My friends are great (The majority of their parents are in their late…[Read more]

Hi Tom ,
Thank you for your kind message.
Thinking about it – the SCT was 3 weeks ago as she has been home a week already. Within days of being home she was doing the washing and ironing and pottering around in the garden (very naughty!) and we cant seem to stop her!
She hurt her rib a couple of years ago digging in the garden and after…[Read more]
