Hi everyone
Depressing thread time I'm afraid.
After suffering with a bad back for around 3 months I finally saw my GP and arranged an x ray. After investigations at hospital it turns out I have multiple myeloma - cancer of my bone marrow.
This as you can imagine has turned out to be devastating for me but more so for my family and friends.
I am looking forward (if that's the right way of putting it) to 12 weeks of chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant and then hopefully a remission. The cancer is treatable only so will return at some stage in the future but I'm not thinking about that.
If you like, you can follow my blog at during the meanwhilst
It's not all about doom, gloom and illness but more a sideways glance at life now I've a chance and the time to think about things!
If anyone here has gone or had a relative or friend go through the same illness and would like to share any expreriences please let me know.
Thanks everyone.
