Hi Donna

Just wondered if you managed to get to the hospital for second opinion on thursday with the weather.

with love michelle x x

Hi Michelle,

Didn't need to go – Dad saw the consultant last Saturday when he was taken in re his confusion. The second opinion was worse than the first – now instead of months its weeks.

On the plus side he's not been confused this week and after all the fluids, blood, platelets and whatever else they gave him on Saturday his counts have maintained. Back up to oncology on Monday to get it all checked out again.

Think we are all just taking each day as it comes, trying to be positive and not getting our hopes up all at the same time.

How is your mum doing?

Hi Donna

Thanks for the reply, have been thinking about you.

I am sorry that you did not get any better news, enjoy the time you have with him, I know its easy for me to say, I understand taking everyday as it comes and everyday is a bonus.

Mum is doing ok thanks, very very tired and itching with the chemo, but seems ok at the mo.

take care and love to all, keep us informed how he is.

with much love michelle x x

Will do – thanks Michelle. Having a family tea tomorrow, definately trying to make the most of the time we have. One of my sisters is in the process of trying to cancel/postpone her holiday – Australia/New Zealand for 4 weeks leaving New Years Day.

Hope your mum get the itching sorted out, that was one of the side effects that my dad didn't get.

Love Donna xx

I think they will be able to cancel/postpone due to the circumstances.
Have a lovely family tea tomoz, thinking of you.

with much love michelle x x

We have had more bad news – Dad got taken into hospital last Sunday and we were told on Monday that he only has days left. Its been really hard but they have told us they will keep him comfortable – had to chase them up yesterday a bit but he was comfortable when I left him last night.

This b l o o d y myeloma is a nightmare!!

Hello,

It is with a heavy heart that I let you know my dad passed in the early hours of Friday. It had been a tough 3 years for my dad but he never complained once – and as sad as I feel at least he is no longer in any pain.

[michelleakitt29Participant]

HI donna

I am so sorry to hear your Dad has passed away, My heart and love goes out to you and your family at this sad time.

Oh Donna

There is so little I can say, I am so sorry.

My daughter is called Donna.

I don't know if you are aware that the name Donna means lady.

I just bet that you were one very special lady in your dad's life.

Wishing you strength and comfort in the weeks to come

Love from Gill xxx

Dear Donna I am so sorry you have lost your dad to this awful illness There is so little anyone can say except he must have been so proud of his daughters and couldnt have been more loved Treasure the memories , he will always be with you love Bridget x

[doddelParticipant]

Thanks all for the lovely messages. Dad's funeral was yesterday – it was hard but the services (one at church at one at crematorium) were both lovely and very comforting and the number of people that turned out to pay their respects was astounding.

My dads last words of any meaning were for no-one to fight and fall out so that will be his legacy.

Just have to try and have a normal christmas now especially for my daughter and my niece plus my dad was a big christmas and new year person (always last to remove his cracker hat).

Hope you all have a lovely christmas.

[tomParticipant]

Oh Donna I am so sorry, for two things first the sad loss of your Dad, you have my deepest sympathy and second the delay in passing my Condolences on to you and your family.

Words are a small comfort I know but am sure they help you and your family at this sad time.

Love and Hugs

Tom xxxx
