To those of you intending to follow my blog (and many thanks to those who have already contacted me- that was quick!!)- it might be useful to have some more medical info about my myeloma journey and what went before my involvement in the Lenalidomide study. When I was still working I did a fair bit of travelling and with the help of my hospital created a website that could be useful to medical folks elsewhere when I was working- generally abroad. I can't travel quite as much just now ( understatement!) but have kept the site pretty much up to date out of habit. You can see it at http://www.asquithmedical.co.uk . Just gives a bit more detail about how myeloma has gone for me. One thing you quickly learn from other myeloma patients is just how differently the condition expresses itself in different people.
Right - I'm off to worry the neighbours by cleaning my mountain bike in anticipation of getting back on it.

About Me
- Stewart
- I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2003 and since then I have had six regimes of chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant; a significant pulmonary embolism and two dvts, have become diabetic and had a plate inserted in each arm and a pin in my leg in February 2007. I was included in the Lenalidomide Study at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh. After 6 months of no treatment I went on a chemo regime involving prednisolone, melphalan and thalidomide. I'm now off that but my paraprotein is now rising quite quickly
