Hi Andrea

Just take one day at a time it’s a doable but it has it’s moments stay strong and you will…[Read more]

Hi Keith
Yes the Dex keeps me awake but it will only be for last nite and the Velcade (if it’s same as last five lots) and will need aka ram to wake me up.

The mouthwash like David said should be supplied by the hospital and don’t forget use it near as much as you use the loo and some. That extra extra use helped me no end.
Good luck with it…[Read more]

Hi Charlie

Hi Andrew
Well done and yes you should be pleased I had mine done in 2009 and at the start it was 100 but as the months moved on I got the all clear and spot on and am under the impression it’s near the norm, stick with it with a big grin and a skip in your step.

Good luck you are well on the road to remission
