Hi Duckegg,
I can help you with information because I was diagnosed with Stage3 Malignant Myeloma 7 years ago. After surgery at the Christie Hospital I had a years treatment of 17 intravenous infusions of Pembrolizumab immunotherapy. Side effects are less than with traditional chemotherapy but can still be significant but many people including myself have little or no side effects at all. I was able to drive to and from the hospital myself for each treatment and continued hiking, going to the gym and cycling throughout the course and didn't need to rest at all on the days after the treatment. I was discharged 5 years after the completion of treatment (last year) as statistically after 5 years it is very unlikely to recur. I was fortunate to have the best possible experience and outcome. Also the staff at the Christy were first class empathic, professional, knowledgeable and caring.
I am new to posting on the board but have been a Dale supporter both home and away for very many years. I am attempting to pm you and happy to discuss anything with you.
I also have some extra knowledge as I am a retired Pharmacist. |
