Dear Rachel,

I am so sorry to hear this, and my heart goes out to you and the family. I remember many of Outdoors Paul's post on here and on the under-50s pages – we won't forget him.

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind comments. It is warming to know that Paul was in touch with so many people and offered support to so many of you. That was Paul – always helpful and always on the look out for who needed rescuing. He was 'Our hero' to me and Chloe, the foster child we look after every few weeks.
With love to all of you. Rachelxxx

Rachel,
I am absolutely devastated by this terribly sad news. Like Paul I love the outdoors and I was hoping that once we both had recovered from our Stem Cell transplants we would be able to get a walk in on the hills above Tod, or down here in Glossop. I will still do that walk with Paul in my thoughts. Wherever, there is a wild moorland, there will be Paul.
Take care

Steve

Dear Rachel

I was devastated by the news of Paul's death and my heart goes out to you. I had missed it because I don't usually visit the under 50's!

I always felt Paul was a near fellow traveller as we spent 33yrs of our married life in Calderdale. We only moved to Bradford to get adapted housing. As others have said, Paul was always so supportive. I always found his posts so helpful.

Love to you and all Paul's family. I am so sorry you didn't have more years together.

Hello Rachel

What a terrible shock! I too had missed your post because I don't normally visit the Under 50's site.

Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time

Love

Ann and Pete

Dear Rachel,

I am so shocked and just want to wish you all my thoughts as you deal with the loss of Paul. I remember him first coming to this site…he was always so very positive and you must have been so proud of him.

I don't come on here often at the moment, but know that when I did, he was always there supporting people.

Thinking of you, Chloe and your family.

Hi Rachel,

I have just finished reading through some of Paul's posts – always honest, aways supportive, always looking at problems from a 'half-glass full' perspective.8-)

I laughed aloud at his first 'Dex' encounter where he went slightly ape when he couldn't find the Pears Soap in the bathroom. My 'Dex' moments tend towards the trivial things in life too. The big things are taken in your stride, face to face with no backing down… but no Pear's Soap… that's beyond the pale.:-0 😉

God bless you Paul.. you will be… you already are… missed.:-)

Dai.

I just wanted to say thanks again for all your kind words. I have been looking regularly at this discussion forum and it warms my heart to know that Paul was thought of so highly by so many people. Thanks especially to Steve: you will be pleased to know that on the day Paul was admitted to hospital this last time we'd been out for a 5 mile walk across the moors. He was active to the end. And thanks too to you Dai – that made me smile. Paul never lost his patience, except when on Dex, and if I told him it was the Dex making him cross he would get even crosser!
Wishing you all hope and happy times,
Rachelxx

Dear Rachel

I was shocked and saddened by the untimely death of Paul. We where having a similar MM journey struggling to get to SCT as the medics tried to find the right drugs. I went through the DTPace regime before Paul and again it failed me. I must admit when DTpace worked for Paul I was a touch jealous but also pleased when it worked for him. Like others I will miss his posts and support on this forum he was a good friend to us all.
Take care

It was such a shock to read your post today after having taken a "break" from this forum recently, Rachel.

Paul was such a positive and supportive poster and he will be missed by us all.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this sad time.

I am so sorry Rachel, he was far too young to die, and had so much more to give. My thoughts go out to you at a very sad time. My husband died in much the same way, from infection and the shock is too much to bear, when you have so much hope.
Please take good care of yourself and know I am thinking of you

Rachel, I'm so sorry for you and your family. I was at the Infoday on Saturday when I found out about Paul and I have to say I was shocked and deeply saddened. We were at more or less the same point with our treatment. I had my transplant in January and came very close to losing my life. Paul seemed to be doing so well. Damn this disease.
Wish I could do something or say something to make things better but I just want you to know I'm thinking about you and your family at this sad time.
Take care,
Sharon x

Dear Rachel

I don't very often look at the under 50s site but having done so tonight I would like to add my sincere sympathy to you for your loss. mm is so unforgiving and spiteful. My husband died on the 11th September He was 57 and considered young to die from mm But being wiped out at Paul's age is unbelievable.

Much love Gill xxx

Rachel,

Not sure if you will get this and really sorry for a late reply. I don't look at the under 50s ever but it was something Dai said in a post that got me wondering. I was really shocked and upset when i realised it was outdoors paul. We are so so sorry. He posted some really helpful and positive comments when Colin was diagnosed. It was so helpful and he painted a lovely picture of what you guys got up to, even with myeloma in the background; cottages, walks, bike rides etc

We are so sorry

Vicki and Colin x
