Hi Darlene,
I've read several of the messages that you have posted on this message board and feel that your situation is the most similar to mine, except that I don't have MS. I was diagnosed in Sept. 2002 and was told that I had 2 years -- well, I'm now well past my used by date!! Seriously though, my levels are all starting to go up again after being stable for 14 months, so the doctor is planning to use Thalidomide. After reading your story I'm wondering if it would be better to go straight to Velcade? What do you think? This is my first attempt at a message board, so please excuse any mistakes!! I'd appreciate just 'talking' with someone else with MM as I can't find anyone in my rural town who also has this form of cancer. Many thanks, Cath
