Hi Andy
Good results there, hope it continues to do the trick. Enjoy the beer, I still can’t drink alcohol, my taste buds must have been totally nuked!
Love Helen

Hi Andy
Well done on that beer, am sure you have seen my photos on face book from Sunday afternoon I had more than the one started at 12 and went home (was taken home to be fair) at 5.30 ish lol

Hi Helen.
Fortunately for me my taste buds have got their act together now I’m off the cyclophosphamide and I can taste things again. So as they say I’m making hay whilst the sun shines and eating and drinking well. Not to excess of course 😉
How’re you getting on? Are you still yearning to return to work?

Hi Tom.
Drunk on a Sunday afternoon lol well done mate. 😉
After my scare the other week I think I’m back in the old routine and the beer at the weekend was most enjoyable.
Those blood results look brilliant.
My last HB was 96 not sure what my WBC was tut PLTs were 101 and Neuts were 1.2
Will have to see what effect the Pomalidomide has on them on Friday. I think my Neuts will take a hit.
No matter what I’ll have a beer or two cheers

Every day is a gift
To be enjoyed with a cool beer

Andy xx

Hi Andy

Good to see you having a beer, funny thing was i never wanted a beer,  which is weird for me,  I. Have had 2 stem cell transplants, both carried out in nz where I then lived.

Trust me,  it gets better,  I actually forget I have myeloma most of the time.

I go to the gym and play golf, and bike ride up to 100km some days.

Only one thing, if you act ill. You will feel ill,  who wants that?

Good luck

Hi Andy
I am back to work! 4 weeks now, gradual return and I’m tired but ok really. The shingles rash site is uncomfortable but getting less.
Love Helen
