Hi
Cindy Brown2
Hope you’re doing well and staying well and do not forget to take your medication and follow up appointment, If you have any difficulties or uncomfortable try talk to your doctor,like side effects, pain, no appetite or things that dealing with MM issues,l am sure they will help with that.Rimission will take time to recover slowly and you have to prepare for it and the side effects will come after one another.Wish you the best and hope you will overcome this difficult situation thank you.This is what it happens to me and I experienced it after the SCT and on rimission about going for 1 year have been gone trough it.MAY LORD HELP YOU.
