Sounds great Adrian….every bit we can all do is really great.
Hope the SCT goes well for you – Take it easy afterwards, listen to your body and don’t overdo it! Fundraising can all wait 🙂

Is anyone else suffering from neutropenia after long term Revlamid use?

Hi David. THat is not good news. Although Maureen is right that revlimid has been said to have a tiny chance of increasing the risk of secondary cancer, skin cancer being one of the ones that it is more likely to do this with. That said, I have always said that whilst there is a chance of that, I’ll take that chance given the benefits it offers.…[Read more]
