Guys:

The thread is two years old. Nice of you to respond to "nickyr" as I'm sure he appreciates it, but please pay attention to thread dates before responding. :wink

I think I can see how this happens, someone posts on an old thread, I get an email notification, clicking on it takes me to the first post but the rest of the pages take a while to load. In the meantime I post and find I've posted to a 4 year old thread. Ah well, just have to be more careful but the message remains the same. Congratulations on your nearly four years of remission.

Nah, it's just, uh, it's just... forgetfulness! ;)

Nick, I hope you're doing well! :)

Thanks Tomos :)

Is that to the west, east or north?

Anyway - it's time for an update. I'm now nearly 4 years post stem-cell transplant (on 9 July). My last set of blood tests though revealed an increase in my para-proteins which may be an indication that the effects of the SCT are wearing out and therefore that I'll relapse in the not too distant future.

My consultant is happy that the SCT has lasted this long though.

I don't think that I could go through another SCT though, or go through the stresses and rigours of another drug trial.

Que sera........

Hi Nicky - glad to hear from you and that you are still doing well despite your news above - my thoughts are with you and hope that your treatment remains effective as long as possible. Dave :)
