It's different second time round. I found that I didn't want to tell many people. Kept it to myself much more. It was four years for me and I guess I had got used to the idea that things were going to be OK and then - there it was again. Hope all the treatment works for you. It's a right chore having to go through it again.Regards Sailor He who lets the sea lull him into a sense of security is in very grave danger. Hammond Ines

If you follow the same treatment regime as me you will have 6 months of chemo, which I could still function o.k with. I continued to work part time. Towards the end you get more tired but generally manageable. Then they harvest the stem cells, then transplant them. The time to put the stem cells back takes 30 minutes. I could not believe the process, it really is incredible! I had my transplant at Peter Mac, the staff were fantastic!
