Crikey what a negative piece. The emphasis should be (in general) the advice you're given when you or a loved one is diagnosed. They will never give you a 'you're clear' or 'you're going to die' diagnosis (even after treatment). They give you the %'ages and it's up to you to decide which way you go. If you've 'done' the chemo trip once you're a lot less likely to go there again unless you are given assurances as to it's efficacy (and trust me if you are on the NHS the first time you will have been given the cheapest and most crude version, the second they will move mountains to get you the best available).
If you are currently effect by all of this this the best advice I can give you is to take every day as it comes. There will be bad days and there will be good ones.

I would disagree, when first diagnosed I was offered a type of Oral Chemo that is probably one of the most expensive (c£4k /mth)
It was my choice to try other options, due to the possible side effects of the Revlamid, when they did not work I then asked for the Revlamid, happily the side effects have all been manageable to date.

What are your views on private treatment in respect of this? Will you be given the best drugs first time around?
