Multi myeloma patient diagnosed in 2013, had stem cell transplant April 2014 but told relapsed November 2014. Started Revlamid / dexamethazone January 2015, so far despite some side effects going in the right direction but so was transplant so fingers still crossed.

Thank you, confidence in my treatment grows as time goes by, but minor issues catch you out, luckily the records we keep help out. Plus we have an excellent support team from the NHS, although we take notes and take them away to study so we can understand more what they tell us we can gain better understanding of what the future holds.

Hope you are have the right support and understanding, surprising how much support you can gain from others having treatment, still not found anyone having the same as myself, just shows you how individual we all are

Great that you are using NHS. I will watch for your posts, as I am interested in how you are monitored and how well you do. I also had "no significant change" in my blood counts post-transplant. That was in January 2011, and I remain in remission with maintenance therapy. There are brighter days ahead for you. You need to be visiting with a myeloma specialist, so NHS is a great selection. Good luck to you!
