Hi all, well I didn't expect that.

I thought I would be hooked up to a drip. But it was a Chemo injection.

Plus 30+ tablets.

Up to now I feel okay.

I am on the Ridor trial.

All the nursing staff are really lovely and very supportive.

I am still feeling very positive.

Hope you are all doing well on your treatments.

Hi Mother trucker and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

I'm not a member of this forum but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies from the forum members yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again. I'm sure you'll find the members of this forum will be happy to answer any questions you might have about your chemo and also share their experiences with you.

It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi mother Trucker, i am Vespa, AKA Kevin, with MM diagnosed in June last year, and now 55 days past stem cell transplant, part of my cycles of treatment DVTB is chemo injections, and tablets, thalidomide, this cycle last 4 weeks with different treatments every week, and tablets from Home, i have had the drug Daratumbaba which is an Immunotherapy drug given along side Dexamethosone, tablets steroids, all these got me into remission, in about 5 months, and then the strem cell harvest and subsequent transplant, and 10 days recovery in hospital tough but doable, the Chemo is not to be feared , easy to say, but it is what will help us all Kevin
