I've only just cottoned on to the fac...Hi Sean<br /><br />I've only just cottoned on to the fact that you also had an allogeneic transplant last year. I'm sorry I've not followed your blog very consistently - there are only so many blogs one can keep up with. :)<br /><br />I am about to face my own allogeneic transplant from an unrelated donor, as my only brother was not a match. So I will be reading up from this point forward of yours. Not that anyone else's results or responses means a darn thing, does it? I actually find I get quite frustrated when people tell me about others doing well or dying or whatever, as it may as well be someone winning the pools when I don't even play.<br /><br />It's a bit late now as you've already been through it and come out the other side, happily! But I've been told the risk is around 10-15%, whereas if it's high dose chemo with donor cells, it's 20-25%. I have to say, the statistics are not the facts that I'm most focused on, as like you, there isn't really much of a choice with this. The myeloma in my body came back within 4 months of my initial auto SCT, so if I don't have the allo, I'll die. Simples!<br /><br />I've been on three cycles of Velcade since the relapse, which is working great - in complete remission again now - one more cycle to go, then hi ho hi ho, it's off to another SCT I go. Wish me luck!<br /><br />Anyway, I will read on with what happened to you after July last year and continue to wish you luck and a long strong LIVING life to a fellow north-westerner - I'm from Liverpool originally. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638201072045954709.post-21915486431243446502011-07-17T20:02:38.633+01:002011-07-17T20:02:38.633+01:00If someone was offering you a 70% rate on your sav...If someone was offering you a 70% rate on your savings you'd snatch their hand off! ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638201072045954709.post-41341816120042369292011-07-12T20:28:00.969+01:002011-07-12T20:28:00.969+01:00I've been encouraging fellow bloggers and frie...I've been encouraging fellow bloggers and friends to help share the love :)<br /><br />http://trialx.com/curetalk/2011/07/share-the-love/<br /><br />Best!!<br />- KimKimmyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568176536412450239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638201072045954709.post-13505029558036639222011-07-10T14:21:28.876+01:002011-07-10T14:21:28.876+01:00Yep, I know of an allo transplant (my relative) af...Yep, I know of an allo transplant (my relative) after two failed autos, and it was a sibling match, too. A year out now and things are looking very good... increased energy, overall health is better, life looks more hopeful. There was some GVHD but it was managed and remains minimal at present.<br /><br /> I will be intending you are getting great results and it is wonderful that Nigel can be a donor, so I am also intending that all goes well in all respects for both of you.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265922352726668243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638201072045954709.post-768797067833846202011-07-09T14:33:50.956+01:002011-07-09T14:33:50.956+01:00So happy to read that you have a sibling match. No...So happy to read that you have a sibling match. Not sure if you are aware, but in some cases allo transplants seem to cure MM. I know of folks who got long remissions but I also know of folks who never had their MM returnand they are MANY years out now. It's OK to get a bit of GVHD, they think that it's even necessary to get it to kill the MM, it's a very high level of it that can be dangerous and the treatment for it leaves one vulnerable for infections/illness. Hope everything goes smoothly and wishing you all good things from across the pond. A woman I know here just had one from her sis and is doing great.<br />DeniseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638201072045954709.post-78904170139631851592011-07-09T01:43:24.886+01:002011-07-09T01:43:24.886+01:00Not an easy pill to swallow either way, but the 10...Not an easy pill to swallow either way, but the 100% match with your older brother sounds miraculous!
