Hi Megad and of Course Phil
Well Done you two, sat at home as proud as punch and so you should be 😀 .
Now I need to say this first, Now you are home Phil its not all done Please take your time and keep your temp checks regular as it will take you a few more months before you feel the difference, if like me I woke up one morning and knew Just Knew I was better 😀 and have never looked back since 😎 so one day at a time and if you need that extra sleep take it 😉
if you are both feeling scared well thats normal as I was for a day or two, it will pass.
Keep strong and well done

Hi Deb
A warm welcome to the "Scary" place ?? well its not that scary its a great place for advice/help and a place to near cuss with all the problems that are thrown at us due to the MM.
I wont ask you not to worry because you will, I will tell you we have loads of Members here that have gone through what you are now going through and didn't know what to do/say (i was one of them) and a little bit down the line they (not I he he) can tell you the names and symptoms of every thing we get have and need, and i can see you knowing as much as the rest of the good folk on here (and more than I 😛 )
I had all my work done in 2009 and am now still in remission and Drug Free as you will be soon.
Good Luck in your Journey to Remission.
Love Tom Onwards and Upwards xx
Ps Happy Birthday xxx
Hi Lisa and Hubby
Am sorry Hubby is having too many infections? (what kind of infection?)
As for the CDT I was on that in 2009 it made me tired that tired that I went on sick during my 4th cycle 🙁
Lisa always keep an eye on his temp and stuff as the Dex can hide an infection, am sure you have been told to ring the ward that he was being treated at if you have a problem ?
Keep your eye on it and good Luck with it all
Love Tom Onwards and Upwards xx
Hi Daniel and Dad
Am sorry your Dad is having trouble with his back 🙁 How long are you looking?? well truth is no one can say apart from the Dr who will have a good Idea, But my thinking is that it could be a long time as they are getting your dad ready for a SCT 😀
Stay strong Daniel am sure your Dad will be well looked after during his treatment.
