True legend.
Lily was my first awakening.
Drag queen on the telly at 7am!!!
I thanked him when we first met, then we got a little drunk and he told me stories of him as a drag queen having fights. #PaulOGrady
It's here, our new myeloma booklet! 📚🎉
Created with people who live with myeloma themselves focusing on the key things to know in those first weeks and months when it's hard to make sense of what's happening.

Before I go. Please don’t rely on Google for info about myeloma. It’s often scary and out of date. Use recommended leaflets and websites, like Blood Cancer UK. I kept calm and passed info to family and friends from trusted charities. They are working hard, so we can beat cancer.
One thing I'm grateful for, is that the medication I'm on now, wasn't available to people after their stem cell transplants. Thanks to research we are really seeing a lot of development for us living with myeloma. #myelomaawarenessweek
People do that head tilt when they find out you have cancer. “Poor you.” But I am positive about the future. I’m on Lenalidomide to keep me in remission. I have some rough, angry days and tired, emotional days. But there are more positive than bad days…I've counted!
After 6months of chemo, the UK went into lockdown. I finally had two stem cell transplants in July and Oct 2020. It was grim but I coped. It took a year to regain my energy. But now, I swim 2miles each week and walk over 13,000 steps a day. I’m healthier than I was at 25.
I was diagnosed in Sept 2019, my kidneys were failing at a rapid rate. Looking back, I ignored other symptoms & my GP missed them too. I wasn’t listening to my body, it was screaming classic myeloma symptoms.
Good morning you lovely people.
I'm @MrScottNunn and I'm taking over Blood Cancer UK's socials today for #MyelomaAwarenessWeek ... Coming up will be a thread about me living with myeloma
It's Myeloma Awareness Week and on Thursday, I'm taking over @bloodcancer_uk social handles to tell my story, give advice and answer any questions you lovely people may have.
I've been made into a piece of art!
