That is one of the problems with MM you are never quite sure what is lurking behind the little niggle.

Hope you get on your holiday I am coming to the last of my travels for this year. One weekend to go, my old skittle team are going to "re-vist" Newquay for the weekend. It used to be a real booze weekend but we are all over 65 now and a…[Read more]

I just sat and cried when I read Ellen?s post reporting the death of Gaye, one of the stalwarts on the site who always had a kind and encouraging word for others. I will miss her as I am sure we all will.

All my love to both Gaye and Gordon.

In some ways I am pleased that I have been told that only one SCT for me. I fully appreciate that if I was younger, 68 now, I would jump at the chance probably but it seems a very unpleasant experience. My SCT in Nov/Dec went very well and apart from a doggy 24hours a walk in the park. I wish both Peter and Steven a speedy recovery ?…[Read more]

I agree with Min Dai. I sometimes have the same confusion. I tend to hit the pillow and go straight out. Then I wake at say 11:45 and think it is 5:00 am! And, your right about forgetting things Min. I see it as good wholesome exercise going up and down the stair trying to remember what it was I went down or up the stairs for in the first…[Read more]

At the present time I have not got the bike out. It is planned for the future. I am banned from doing any exercise which puts undue pressure on my bones such as Gym work and running are out. My wife is concerned I will fall off the bike 😉

I do find my, now daily, walk very therapeutic and it gives me a small sense of ?I am in charge?, I…[Read more]

I think this is a very very good idea. It would make so much difference to Consultant appointments.

Well done Dai and MMUK

Hi Sally, I am sorry to hear about your Dad and the problems in the family.

You give very little information about your Dad other than he has now been diagnosed with full blown MM from MGUS. Have they already collected Stem Cells from him during his MGUS period?

I was diagnosed with MM in 09 aged 66. I find it difficult to imagine how I…[Read more]

Glad to hear things have gone well Jet.

I had the sore throat, although sore throat is a bit of an understatement, but I think you will understand. The ward Thai cleaner/helper suggested a Complan drink with Ice cream, Jelly and a mandarin or banana all whisked up. They were great, I used to vary the flavour of Complan to match the fruit,…[Read more]

Great news you two just keep going and VASBTYE.

You know Dai, if I am feeling down or sorry for myslef I just read a couple of your posts Dai and realise how lucky I am 😀 Just kidding the best of luck with your DVT.

I had a DVT followed by a PE a year before my diagnoses, collapsed in the Park whislt walking my dog, They should have picked up the MM then but failed.

Hi Mary, Nice to hear from you again, I am pleased all is going well with your family.

Enjoy the sky dive, you will find it exhilarating and as soon as you land you will want to do it again mark my words. I spent 15 years jumping out of planes and it is really something I missed when I had to stop.

My pound is on the way ?…[Read more]

Hi Pam, thanks for the update, I missed your original post having been away from the forum on hols etc. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said he looked so peaceful I would bet your Dad knew the end was coming and just wanted a peaceful end, which is of course what we all want.

Although too late now as a matter of information…[Read more]

Hi Christin and Meike,

I think I am the other David that was Dai was referring to. An English David, well ok my Dad was a Scot but I try to keep that a secret, my family originating from Ashover in Derbyshire 1850 and before.

I note from your posts that we David?s have all got something else in common, apart from a most delightful name…[Read more]

There were several, technically minded, persons who used to post quite frequently, I have not seen them for some time. If they are still following the site this would be a golden opportunity for them and urged them to respond if they can.

Personally, it is out of my league I think.

Kindest regards ? Vasbyte

Sarah, My heart goes out to you, please still visit us when you feel up to it. I love this poem, who wrote it is unclear several have claimed it I think.

Do not stand at my grave and weep..
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the…[Read more]
