Hi Everyone
I have thought twice about posting this news,as we have been loosing so many people lately ,but I also realise how much hope good news gives to people going through treatment,so here goes!!!!
Slim was diagnosed with Myeloma 20 months ago,and has been through two lots of chemo CTD plus Velcade,with Septic pneumonia spending 9 days in ITU.He achieved remission in January of this year and had SCT in May,up to today we were unable to tell if,everything was ok as Slims blood and Kappa lightchains were not showing true readings and the only way to know the true position was a BMB.Today we had the results.!!!It has taken 20 months to get to this position.
The result is Slim is in complete remission,with NO active Myeloma Cells.
I wish I could explain the relieve I feel,I now know all those months of hospital appointments,have been worth while,so anyone reading this who is just starting the myeloma journey,for us it has been worth while.many of my cyber friends have lost there partners,so my thoughts are with them also.
The cruise is booked ,we go on Sunday,then to France between are monthly visit to hospital,and looking to travel to New Zealand for Christmas,
Thank you to all my cyber friends who have helped me so much coping with Slims Myeloma,Love Eve
I have watched, listened and sometimes felt your pain, concerns and confusions. There is no doubt that Slim and yourself have had a very rough journey up to Slim's SCT. But here is the conclusion of that journey and the outcome is worth its weight in gold. 😎
Well done! 😀
Enjoy. 🙂
Go out into the world with confidence and take as much joy as you can find… you both deserve it so much. 😎
Keep in touch now and again but don't be a nuisance. 😉
Much love.
Dai.

PS dont be too much of a stranger, we will miss you!
Thank you everyone for your good wishers,we are so looking forward to going to NZ and going off in are motor home,and of course the cruise which will be a first.
When this Myeloma struck it took so much away from us,but I still felt lucky that we had done so much with are lives before Myeloma Land.
I always feel that some good must come out of some bad,that goes on with in are lives,otherwise why go on.Loosing my grandson Matty again brought home,things we do not expect,but life does go on and you must live it every minute.( am I making sense ):-P my thought are wondering
Any way Dai,you are not going to get rid of me that fast,who is going to kick you up the bum,when you are feeling low,I might be a pain some times,but we all need that kick,to get us fighting again,I will just have to be a bit more gently with you,as Tom would say,( be gently with me Eve )
Its a year for Min today,to me it seems,like yesterday,and now a whole new batch of people are joining,and many are so young,but it looks if they are at least catching the Myeloma in the early stages,which must be a good thing,so lets hope for better days and better results for them.
Slim said to me,he is never every going to be the man he was,before Myeloma,and with all his damage,I new this already,but I just feel lucky that he is still around,and not pushing up the daisies,Love Eve
