      <title>Auto Stem-cell Transplant</title>
      <description>Hi,I haven&amp;#39;t written in over a year.&amp;nbsp; My husband, Bob has MM and had a stem-cell transplant the 30th of Aug...was in the hospital for nearly 6 weeks so had a very hard time...We rely on the Lord in all that we go through knowing He is in control.&amp;nbsp; Bob is now in remission and we will probably have to have a Bone Marrow test done in the near future as he doesn&amp;#39;t secrete into the blood stream or urine.&amp;nbsp; He is in the 1 to 2% of MM.&amp;nbsp; Found the cancer on Dec 19, 2005 through a Bone Marrow test after breaking his clavical for no reason.&amp;nbsp; His plasma cells were between 40 &amp;amp; 50% MM and by the time he did the transplant he was at 83% so it was very aggressive.&amp;nbsp; He is doing well at this time with doing the Aretea Bone hardner and taking vitamins.&amp;nbsp; He takes 90mg of Morphine a day for the pain and has many com pression fractures in his neck and back...He has fallen once but, thankfully didn&amp;#39;t break any bones.&amp;nbsp; Sleeps more than he used too but good to not have the pain.&amp;nbsp; Is anyone else out there going through the same and what is your treatment?Thanks, Janice</description>
