. A month in isolation in a nice hotel attached to the university hospital then three months of shielding. My father in law is far into the Multiple Myeloma treatment. Stem-cell was a while back. I know it knocked him the fuck out. He started Car-T treatment in trial, and is currently clear of all signs. It'll largely be a game of monitoring platelet and white cell counts.

No hair loss, gained a bit of weight from the steroids and some temporary fatigue and joint pain.

Anyone have experience with this procedure?

Weirdly all this isn’t bothering me that much. Even the likely shortened life span. I kind of had a subconscious “will to death” anyway and now I can spend my retirement set asides on travel and experiences.

Fingers crossed they’re right.PASTA wrote: Mon Feb 05, 2024 1:39 pmMy father in law is far into the Multiple Myeloma treatment. Stem-cell was a while back. I know it knocked him the fuck out.
