Dear Rosie,
I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in August 2016 at the age of 73 being a very fit person, that was my specialist words, I was offered a stem cell transplant after careful consideration I decided to refuse as it would be some 6/12 month process and would only guarantee me at the most 12/18 months possible remission. My initial treatment of Thalidomide, dexamethasone and Zometa took six months after which the Myeloma was in remission I am at this point still in remission and back playing golf and keeping as fit as I possibly can, so please take hope and be as strong as you can, we can all fight this sleeping cancer together.
