    Hi Rich
    Sorry for the delay in my reply, I was scheduled to start my treatment at The Beatson Cancer Centre in Glasgow on Tuesday (6th Dec) but when I arrived the detected that I had a temperature of 38.1, I didn’t feel unwell but the decided to run a number of tests and then decided to admit me to a ward. I was allowed home last night (7th Dec) as my temperature was back to normal and my bloods infection markers were okay. My treatment has been put back a week to allow me to finish the course of antibiotics. My treatment is now scheduled for Tuesday 13th Dec. I will be getting Daratumumab (Darzalex), Bortezomib (Velcade) and steriods (Thalidomide & Dexamethasone). I am imagine that like most people starting treatment I am a bit apprehensive. In my mind I have planned for a tough time ahead for the next year but hopefully can look forward to getting back to near normal for a number of years. If there is any advice that you can offer to help me through this coming year I will welcome it with open arms.

    It was having Covid that led to my diagnosis of MM. Covid nearly got me as all my organs were packing up but thankfully got to hospital in time. At the hospital they took bloods which led to them suspecting MM. After having a scan it was confirmed and I start my treatment tomorrow morning. I am a little anxious but glad that the treatment is starting so quickly. The doctor advised me that my Covid was probably so severe due to the MM that nobody knew that I had.
