    I got the very same email.
    It was in my junk at first, but because I thought it was from here, I put it to my mail box. Then I junked it and deleated it becaue it wasn't from myeloma uk.
    All my mail gets checked so no viruses were in my box.

    All the best

    Hi all, I am not at all sure about this. I was puzzled at first because my e-mail handler displayed all of the header information but everything that is there points back to this forum apart from the references to opaltelecom.net and smithmicrosystems.com neither of which seem to exist. Andy, if you are there, help please.

    Hi all,

    Just to confirm these aren't emails that have originated from Myeloma UK.

    It seems that those who have registered with myelomaforums are getting this email and it may be worth making sure your anti-virus software is on and up-to-date… just in case.

    Kind regards
    Andy (Myeloma UK)

    Thanks Andy,

    One reassured member.:-)

    I realised that it was possibly/probably not this myeloma forum but the admin and Andy bits made me suspicious.

    Hi Tom, To fit in with 'Onwards and upwards' we're rolling along on the plateau of good remission just 12 months post SCT at the moment with a few bumps from the usual crushed vertebrae and other related problems and hoping the next review is neutral. Pauline is still a good bit below what she was just 4 months ago but picking up again after a couple of chest/nasal infections. How are you now?
    I try to keep track of how everyone else is doing but this new site seems to generate so much activity it is difficult to have a quick scan to pick up on everyone's ups and downs. Having thought about it, my suggestion is to use the profile to list and update one line progress and status info. This can be thinned and updated with recent info and quickly accessed when anyone starts a new topic. I find it difficult to respond in some cases having lost track of someone's progress or problems. Best wishes, Ron.

    It really is amazing what you find when you do a search for your email address. My name is Andy and I used to own and operate MyelomaForums.com which I started to help my uncle gather information about MM after he was diagnosed. It quickly became a wonderful resource to many and grew into a site with thousands of registered members, but such a site requires a knowledgable staff to run it and keep it clean. Occasionally someone would register an account by hand and use a spam bot to plaster pornographic and virus infected advertisements on the site. Since I was not getting the help I needed I took the site down and cleaned it up and requested some additional help, but the attacks kept taking place so I took the site down to prevent any issues. Everyones stuff was safe but you should always make certain that you use different passwords for every site you work with online.

    [b]Moderators, could you please remove my email address from this post to avoid me being spammed.[/b]

    Thanks

    Andy
