    About Me

    I am 24 and my Dad was diagnosed with Myeloma November 2006 after a routine blood test which was a follow up due to a fall that caused one of my Dad's ribs to break. It was sheer luck that the illness was discovered.

      Stage: II

      I am 24 from Cheshire, United Kingdom and my Dad was diagnosed with Myeloma November 2006 after a routine blood test which was a follow up due to a fall that caused one of my Dad's ribs to break. It was sheer luck that the illness was discovered. I think that the treatments over here in the UK may be a little different but must do the same. Dad was put on to a trial called Trial 9 and has recently had a Stem Cell Transplant which has proved very successful.

      Treatments

      Dad had the transplant at the Christie Hospital near Manchester on the 29th May and has been home from hospital a week and is feeling great,he still has some hair left!
