Welcome to The Myeloma Minutes.  We've now moved to a fortnightly release schedule, so you can now hear us every-other Thursday.

Specialist nurse Alex Scott walks patients and carers through every step of the autologous stem cell transplant process, from preparation to recovery, with clarity, compassion, and practical advice.

📌Key Takeaways:

  • It’s not just medical – emotional and practical support is essential to navigating a transplant.
  • From ice lollies to PICC lines, every detail is planned to keep you safe and supported.
  • Transplants can be tough – but knowing what to expect makes all the difference.
