Hi all nice to be meet you all. Im 6 years on from my initial Myeloma diagnosis. After a couple of different initial treatments i had a Stem cell transplant in April 2022. Im now stable as they say and at present medication/treatment free. Trying to live my best life despite my condition and losing the mother of my children to cervical cancer in December 2022 . I am now the single parent to a 15 year old daughter and a 25 year old son.
When i was initially diagnosed i found strength and inspiration in talking and sharing with the other patients that i was meeting on visits to the Guys Cancer centre. I hope to give and receive support etc from being on this forum. I look forward to communication with you all. Heads up we are Warriors in the fight together. One love and more power to you all. Together we will overcome
Hi Yellow66 and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am sorry to see you joining us and hear about the journey you have been on and more so about the loss of your family member.
I am Mike and I help out around our various Blood Cancer groups. I don’t have Myeloma but I was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Stage 4) so although my Blood Cancer ‘type’ is different I do appreciate the challenges of the journey rather well…. especially as I have had 2 Allo (donor) Stem Cell Transplants (June 2014 then Oct 2015)
It’s great that you have come along to support others on their journey, you may also want to join and post on our dedicated Stem cell transplant support group as we have a number in the group come from a Myeloma background.
It would also helpful to put some information into your profile as it means you don’t have to repeat your story all the time. You can see how this is done by using the link at the bottom of my post and you can also see my cancer story using the second link….. but as my journey was long my story is long.
