Hi all,

Yep lets all celebrate big and little things…..we've come to the conclusion any excuse to celebrate, and make the most of everything! Colin is still happy to be home, even though I nag him(not much :-)), to slow down! Helen it's great to hear good news stories, they sure helped, and still help us now. It's good to be part of others…[Read more]

Hi Megan, frank,jean and Tom,

Firstly Megan so pleased to hear that phils neutrophils are on the way up. It's such a good feeling when that happens isn't it!, for you and Phil both. The medical teams are so thorough with watching the infections. Colin and I were both extremely worried about that but we could see that the hospitals have an…[Read more]

Hi Dai and Janet,

Glad you had an uneventful time, less poor little alfie! We hope he feels better soon and was able to still enjoy santas visit!. We spent christmas eve at the hospital.. Colin got a virus, now on tamiflu and antibiotics!. Thankfully his bloods were well up before to cope…..but now they are down to the basics! So fingers…[Read more]

Hi Megan Jane

We did think about you over Christmas. It must be so hard dealing with it at a festive time when others are jollying it up! Still as others have said, the more days that go by, the closer it is to getting Phil home. It really is such and individual journey. Colin did not have much sickness but he had the tummy upset. His was more…[Read more]

Very best of luck….no need for coffins. Will just be a blip. You are an inspiration to us with your cheery spirit, so no relapses allowed here 🙂

Have a great Christmas and new year!

Hi Megan and Phil,

Just tuning in to see how things are going and wishing you both well. Don't underestimate how hard it is for you too Megan. I was and am exactly the same as you…..worrying whilst your there, and when you are away as you can't see what it going on, are they doing it right?, are they looking after him etc etc :-(, I feel like…[Read more]

+1 (I note all the kids(?) do this on the forums so just thought I would show how hip (or is it 😎 now) I am.)

Have a great day Dai – here's to to the next 100 😎 😀

Megan,

So pleased Phil got his own room, I was telling Colin about the shared situation this morning. I know I would've had meltdown as I'd have been convinced Colin would have caught something off someone else! You just want the best for Phil and I'm pretty sure I'd just be keeping a close eye on what's going on! (bet they were glad to see the…[Read more]

Hi steve,

Welcome :-), to the group no one would prefer to be in! My partner Colin was diagnosed at 55, having had no symptoms except a bad back, which he's had on and off for years so it seemed no different. Bottom line was he was diagnosed with mm October 2011 and went through induction treatment and had his SCT October 2012, so we are in the…[Read more]

Well done Andy,

A very merry Christmas to you and steph 🙂

Vicki and Colin x

Ps Colin in bed with what seems like the start of a cold. Pound to a penny we'll be up to the hospital tomorrow….bet ya! Still 🙂

I wish you the very best of luck Keith old buddy and I am also keeping my fingers crossed for you too Dai.

Stephen was right. I know my Mo will be sad when I have gone but, like Stephen I suspect, I do not want her to do a "Queen Victoria". I have said to her and my children she must enjoy the rest of her life and if that means having a good laugh two days after I am pushing up the daisies so be it have that good laugh. Make Stephen…[Read more]

Hi Stewart, I have heard much about self inflicted pain but following Hearts, my God, that is above the call of duty. Well done You, Myeloma will hold no fears for you then 😉 😀 😀

I was just joking about the coffin:-D . It is in bits at the moment in my workshop. I have finished a mock up of one side with the rope handles and pictures but it is not stained at the moment. I have to finish all the sides before can I re-assemble, I will attach a photo for you Tom sometime today so you can see where I am going with…[Read more]

Thanks Ladies. Have great Christmas.
