ps,

sorry Megan, only just seen your second reply.

That sounds a bit of a cocktail Phil is on, I hope it works out for him, sorry to hear of chest infection, they gave me really strong antibiotics for mine, shifted it.

Thanks for replying and best wishes

Hi Megan and Vicki,

Thanks for replying and your kind words. Good luck to Phil and Colin on their treatment/jouney.

Vicki, I have stem cells (my own), in storage, but whether they would do that so soon after my first. I went on trials after diagnosis, and did 4 or 5 cycles of Thalidomide, then prior to my sct had mephalan (made me very…[Read more]

Hi all,

I have not been on for a while, been busy feeling a bit sorry for myself, as my November check up revealed the dreaded mm has shown up again since August, my consultant said not to worry and they would see how fast it’s coming back in early January, it has increased from 1.8 g/l in November to 4.2 g/l early January, I was alarmed by this…[Read more]

Hi Dawn, I too attend attend the LRI, and like Tony I attend the special clinic as like Tony I am on the trial. However, my latest visit (12 days ago), I had to go to the usual clinic, there was a 2 hours delay as there was a shortage of consultants, I was eventually seen (Dr Barton) two and a half hours later, and then I was sent upstairs for…[Read more]

Hi all, I too take the Adcal and Zometta, not sure if my blood is checked though. At my zometta seesion this week I was told my sessions are to be changed to every 3 months instead of every 6 weeks. Usher (nurse) said this is good news, I will ask at my next clinic though.

Regards to all

Hi Tom, sorry to hear this, I hope this next round of treatment achieves a longer remission and few side effects.

Good luck and very best wishes.

Take care

Aye, it is a tricky bugger and no 2 cases are the same, which makes it even more difficult.
Wishing you well.

Done! Good luck! x

Hi Tom, just read this, I get pains in the same part of my spine, ribs and sternum, I am still on Zomorph, I was told I will always have some pain as there was a lot of bone damage (late diagnosis), so I just have to control it. I had my sct in January 2013, so if my appetite goes or I am more tired, or pain is worse, I worry that it’s coming…[Read more]

Thanks Tony,
