Hi, I was diagnosed in February after a routine blood  donor appointment. After bone marrow biopsy,  MRI, heart trace etc I started chemo. Didn't even feel ill!  Had all my chemo, no side effects at all! Had my stem cell transplant in September  and after 2 more cycles of chemo, my MM is in remission!  I feel great,  no fatigue at all, I'm now on my maintenance drug Lenolidomide  so hopefully  I can start to get my life back to some normality.   My hospital have been amazing as have my family and friends.   You can and will get thru this. Dont give up hope, stay strong and positive.  By the way, I'm a 68 year old female and one last note, my husband has been amazing and supportive too.
