    Hi Eve, never had a private email I will open it when the wife is not about :-)). Actually my Doc mentioned RIVAROXABAN and he wrote to my Consultant about it.

  • Hi all

    Apart from all of the other detail, eve, one of the messages that I did pick up was that slim is no longer being treated. I’m sorry to hear this as he has gone through so. Ugh, as have you in another sort of way. Wishing you both all the best.

    Our experiences have been very positive and we have both been very grateful,for all of the…[Read more]

    Firstly David not impressed with the first diagnosis of ‘nothing to worry about!’ Glad you sought a second opinion! When Colin was on revlimid he had to do an injection every day to keep the flow of blood going. I think revlimid side effect is blood clots. He was just lucky that time he was on it πŸ™‚

    Hope things are going better for you…[Read more]

    Hi there

    Glad to hear Charlie got through the sct, that’s great, shame about the hiccup and collapse! Hope all is well now? Can’t offer any information about the hospital but wishing you all the best with your move and Charlie’s ongoing improvement x

    Hi there,

    Just logged in to say hi and wish you all the best with the treatment regime. My partner Colin was diagnosed in October 2011. Like Megan we are still careful about what food we eat and I still get nervous if we have prawns! Colin had a transplant in November 2012 and thankfully so far still in remission.

    It’s a tough road for the…[Read more]

    • Hello PerkΓ½mite

      Allan my better half had a similar problem when on chemo and was advised by the Consultant (at Musgrove, Taunton) that because one of the drugs was thalidomide it was likely to cause blood clots so I was prescribed aspirin. Part way thro treatment I developed painful legs and was advised to return to Musgrove, have an ultra scan…[Read more]

  • I have suddenly developed a swollen right calf muscle. It extends down to the ankle but stops just above the ankle joint. It can be painful to walk on. Consultant I saw on Friday siad he di not think it was anything to do with Myeloma, not very convincing though. I am going to drop in and see my Doctor next week.

    Anybody got any experience…[Read more]

  • Wow, France and Greece you are getting about. When we went to France last last August they wanted Β£700 for a week Insurance, that was with the relevant French E111(?) card.

    You have a great time.

    Hi Maureen, I have tried with quotes from them all, but Myeloma with Prostate neither of which is in remission is a big no no for them.

    Have a great stay at Gleneagles, I have never been there but when I watch the golf it looks a great place.

  • Best of Luck Tom. I got pulled off of Velcade after 3 Doses, PN big time. I am now on Rev/Dex which seems to be working well although I must admit to getting really peed off with the Dex!

    Anyway – onwards and upwards.

    kindest regards

  • Perkymite replied to the topic Taken off treatment in the forum General 10 years, 10 months ago

    Every time I go to see a Consultant I get a copy of letter he/she then send to my Doctor. This I find jogs my memory of what has been said and generally explains a lot more. It would certainly give a reason for stopping a form of treatment, do you not get this? The list of questions to ask is absolutely essential and very good advice, some…[Read more]

  • Hey Andy and Helen

    Great to hear from you….despite the technical problems you are often in my thoughts. As on other posts we have been busy relocating Colin’s mum nearer us. We are hoping for a holiday abroad soon, Colin’s next appt is 5th February so if all goes well there we are off…..somewhere pending travel insurance issues and as long as…[Read more]

    Hi all
