I've been a member of this forum now for almost 16 years!! I know I post rarely but I visit daily and sometimes (try to at least) contribute where I can
Anyway, as some of you will know I have a blood / bone marrow / bone cancer called multiple myeloma, and following a stem-cell transplant in July 2015 have been in (partial) remission since.
Well, last month I received the news that I have relapsed and my cancer is affecting me again. So this means the battle with this horrible illness starts all over again. I'm not certain as yet what treatments, etc I will be offered, but I do know that bone-strengthening (with a drug called Zometa) is one treatment I can and will have.
Myeloma first time around caused a spinal fracture which left me permanently disabled and literally millimetres from paralysis, so I really want to avoid that sort of malady again trust me!
So, to all the friends I've made on here since 2007, that's where I'm at right now.
