Hi sanne,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your husband - this sounds like a lot and I hope you are getting on OK.

Do of course discuss any medical queries or questions with your husband's doctor, particularly if you are experiencing difficulties with the issues you have mentioned here.

We are also here for support on the forum if ever you need it, and I hope that it can be helpful for you. You can browse or search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other relevant discussions and people to connect with. It often helps to write things down and reach out to others.

If you feel you'd like additional support at any point, you can always look at Macmillan and Maggie's, who have various resources, helplines and also local centres.

Take care of yourself and as I say, we are always here on the forum if you need it.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben

I have Myeloma,  diagnosed in 2016,  9 months of Chemotherapy and then a stem cell transplant. 4 years in remission and the it crept back, currently on treatment that will last indefinitely.  The shaking comes with the medication unfortunately,  I have it all the time.i also have 6 collapsed vertebra in the base of my spine, went through 18 months to 2 years of pain was on pregabaline and oxycodin  tablets for the pain.  I found it really hard as the fatigue you go through makes it impossible to want to socialise or be social.  I found u just wanted to rest at home, I would make plans to meet up with friends and then just feel so exhausted that I couldn't face this. Just going to the hairdressers takes all my strength and then I am exhausted for a couple of days. When you go out you stress because you are trying to act normal  to put others at ease .  Remember your body is being bombarded by chemicals that kill your good cells as well as your bad cells.  I pray for you both. I am here if you want to chat, there will be loads of questions you will have if I am able I will share my experiences with you.
