Hi all,
My mom is 51 and was diagnosed year and half ago. She did 4 rounds of VAD and then autologous stem cell transplant last October. Sadly, the MM has come back as soft tissue around her pelvis and breast. She is being offered a trial for Velcade at Princess Margaret in toronto. It's difficult to think of velcade as being late stage treatment and I'm afraid if it fails. My mom was always very active and now she in hospital due to swollen leg caused by a blood clot caused by the pelvic tumour....I'm devastated, she is my life. I hope that velcade works. I pray for everyone going through this, I remain hopeful and strong...I wish the same for you.
Melissa
