Hi Allen, welcome to the site (?).

You are better off starting a new posting rather than join half way down on an existing one.

It took me 4 attempts to get my Stem Cells, first three I only got One mill and then I had to wait nearly 3 months for another go. The second attempt they flew out.:-D

Can I join everybody else Tom and say congratulations.

I was really surprised that you are off the Zometa infusions as well, I thought they were given to protect the bones from loss of Calcium. I take the tablet version, Loron, and understand I will be on them for the forseable future:-S . So this must be a major event 😎

Keep going…[Read more]

Hi Dave, Welcome to the site (?).

Several on here have had two SCTs, but generally they have been a lot younger than us, I am 69, if my memory serves me right – and I cannot be too sure of that nowadays :-/ .

I was told right from the start that I could only have one SCT because I was 68 and 70 was the cut of limit not matter how fit you…[Read more]

Dear Min, I will miss your sound sensible posts but I wish you all the very best for the future.

It is great you are moving on, my wonderful Mo will have to face the same journey sometime in the future and face that same loneliness that you can only fully understand when you have lived with someone you love for a long time.

All the very…[Read more]

[b]OPPPS SORRY[/b] Had a senior moment when replying to your post. You were asking about a Stem Cell [u]Harvest[/u] and NOT a [u]Transplant[/u]. Sorry.:-/

Sue, who clearly read the question, has given the correct answer 😀

Hi Terry, Best of luck with your SCT.

The best thing I ever did was take in my Laptop and Mobile. Most of the time you are just waiting for things to happen and my Laptop was a God send. Plus the wife and I text each other, which meant she could check on what was happening at any time, but most of all we could say good night and good morning…[Read more]

You sound good to go Penny – Vasbyte.

Hi Penny, Firstly Welcome(?) to our site. As you say bags of information on here and the good news is it is all up to date.

You will hear this many times I am afraid but Myeloma is a very individual decease and it attacks everybody slightly differently and of course your health, fitness etc.. all come into the equation of what happens. None of…[Read more]

I get all sorts of aches and pains left side of chest then it is the right then it moves to my neck ? opps sorry that is the wife ? but you know what I mean. I put them all down to the way I sleep or doing too much and like Tom says a simple stretch out to…[Read more]

Just after I had my SCT, Dec 09, I had night cramps a lot now it is just the occasional cramp in my legs at night.

I do suffer from very cold legs at night and if I stick one out from under the duvet I am in trouble, hence the reason I am sitting at my computer at this hour 🙁 .

Good for you. I love the ability to "edit", WHAT Trade jazz?:-D 😀 😉

It is the river Teign, they live in Shaldon by Teignmouth.

The wood is all ex fencing material and as such has all been " presure treated" so it should last for a good long time. Which, as I have no intention of going soon, is a real good thing 😉

I am still thinking about music.

The only tune I have settled on is Red Sails in the Sunset by Acker Bilk (for those to young to remember him he is a Trad (thanks Scott) Jazz musician). I am hoping to have this played as I am lowered into my grave.

I like all music, but not a great music collector, from operas to Bop so I am trying to…[Read more]
