Gaye and Jean did you watch the killing ? I was totally hooked on it and thought saturday nights were doomed till tonight What a sad case I am hope you all enjoy tomorrow love Bridget x

Hi Bridget – yes I did but I have to get into it. I am still pining for Wallander and The Killing and the female detective seems to have a permanent look on her face that leaves me desperately worried about her. I loved Lund in The Killing so I will have to stay with this one.

I noticed myeloma was mentioned in Waking the Dead but not very much to make any impact.

It looks like my radiotherapy hasn't worked. It is now nearly 6 weeks and no sign of any relief.

Love, Gaye xx

Dear Gaye it seems so unfair that you are still suffering an unbearable amount of pain despite the rt .I suppose it would be risky repeating the rt but has anyone suggested any other options ? Is surgery possible ? There must be something they can do and I hope they dont keep you hanging on too long Its a good job you are a tough old bird like me!! As for the programme it was certainly gorier than the swedish one , but then I suppose being french it was going to be more over the top drama! Still I watch again next week Apparently the Killing 11 will be on in the autumn hooray I hope you have a nice day sunshine here lots of love Bridget x

Thanks Bridget – My consultant has sent a copy of my MRI to the Royal London to see if a kyphoplasty is feasible. The consultant there is the specialist in spinal surgery and kyphoplasty in particular so if he says no then that's it.

Some of the french detectives are just vile and 'Monsieur don't I look lovely with my grey but suave hairstyle' looks as corrupt as they come! Keep watching. From one tough old bird to another ………..

Dear Gaye that sounds hopeful I cant remember where Mr Malloy works but he is a specialist in myeloma fractures , I think it may be the Royal London though. Apparently when he looked at my x-ray there was a lot of head shaking .He couldnt believe how little of my spine was left!!So surgery would be too dangerous for me but I really hope they can help you soon love Bridget x

Dear Gaye and bridget

I missed the last episode of the Killing i thought it a great production so annoyed i missed it, something to do with football, I love the swedish wallender as well Look forward to the episode in the autumn.

Gaye,I do hope you get some relief from your pain soon, with all the pain relief today something must work for you.

best wishes

Hi Sarah the last episode is on bbc i-player for a bit yet The new gets good reviews too Roll on autumn love Bridget x

Bridget – the surgeon at the Royal London who did both my operations was Mr John Yeh and I think it is likely that he will come to the same decision as yours as it is now two years on and more damage has happened since then. Not a great outlook but must keep hopes alive.

Is it me but even though I cannot understand Swedish or Danish, let alone French, I still find the need to turn the sound up. Any one else as batty as me? Come on, out of those language closets!

Love, Gaye xxx

Hi Bridget

Missed that one alltogether. Will try Iplayer when I get back. Sitting in sun with a large G & T and it is only3.05 here. Bad aren't?

There is anothe programe on Sky called "MEntal" He is a psychitrist ( don#t know how to spell it.) But in one episode she was explainiong to him that she had Multiple Myeloma and was in complete remission!!!!

Gaye sorry to hear that you are in pain and hope that you get relief soon.
Love Jean xx

Hi Gaye you are right I think but its a lot easier to live with it if you arent in pain, I do hope they come up with something soon for you . No you arent alone we have the volume up too , all adds to the atmosphere love Bridget x
