Hi Nicki,

I am about a month behind Sam, I had my STC early Dec, and I could take your post, alter the names and it would be the same for me, even down to the hair. My mousy brown hair is now black. Mo wants me to grow it a bit on top, I normally keep is short. I think she has got a thing about curly headed men (she has never mentioned it…[Read more]

I had dogs at the time. I was just about to inject myself when my Collie and Springer came bounding into the kitchen, distracted by the dogs I carried on with the injection but afterwards I just thought I did not have the same amount to inject. I think I accidentally squirted some out without realising it and therefore I only got a small dose.…[Read more]

We are down to Torquay for the weekend of 3/4th September. If you would like my wife and I to pop in send me your emails address via Private Message or post it here if you feel inclined.

Diet, if there were any special health foods that would help I think the "Docs" would have said. I certainly did not get any advice on it.

As for collecting the Stem Cells my first attempt was a dismal failure. I then had to wait about 6 months for a second go. I put my failure down to a mess up on the CSG(?) injections on the last night.…[Read more]

OK your on.

😀 That is great Dai, pure "dex" though. Ok Ok it raised a tear in my eye as well.

There is a support group in Plymouth. You will find it under Support Groups on this site. The contact emails is : Jane.Ransome@phnt.swest.nhs.uk.

I might be down in your area later in the year. I will try to pop in to see you if you like. My wife keeps my diary, because I am useless, and when she comes home I will check it out if you would…[Read more]

You are so right Dai, my short term target is my 50th Wedding anniversary on 24th Nov 2012 (bet that has surprised a few of you Ladies – I know the date of my anniversary!!!).

Whereabouts in Cornwall are you?

You know Angelina I found your post quite moving (and I do not mean Bowel wise). You are clearly working so hard to support John. I can only wish you the very best.

Velcade is something I have to look forward to apparently, I just hope the Medical Profession has read Dai's post and taken note of Tom's >:-( .

Kindest regards -…[Read more]

Welcome (?) Anne

Just go with the flow Anne, one day at a time, and make sure you both enjoy that day. I am nearer your Husbands (Name?) age at 68. I was diagnosed in July 2009, with a major tumour in my neck. I have worked out, from various symptoms, I have had Myeloma since 2007. I have had a Stem Cell Transplant.

Watch out for the…[Read more]

"Power Failures" that is right on the button as a description for the tiredness 🙂 .

"Power Surges" would be a good descripton of the affects of Dex I think as well.

I have just come back from a very enjoyable couple of days with my Daughter, visiting the Zoo with my youngest Grandchild and then Sports day for another one. By Nine last…[Read more]

Great, great news Dia. That is absolutely incredible, Velcade, if it works for you, seems amazing stuff.

I lost my three chest hairs at the first dose of Chemo and despite assurances from my Consultant they have not come back. I look for them every day but not a glimmer, bo ho :'-( . I did think of asking Bridget to knitting me a ?chest…[Read more]

My Dear Susan I was so sorry to hear of Kevin?s death.

Kevin came across to me through this site as one of the "Good Guys" and therefore I know he will be missed by all. Use the memories of the many good times you had to get through this dark time. Dig out a memory of him rolling with laughter and fix on it, I am sure you will find he is…[Read more]

I am pleased that everything went well with your SCT David. Onwards and upwards from now on as Tom would say.

Kindest regards

David

Dear Steve, No, I am not sitting here waiting to ?pop my clogs? so to speak.
My guide is the letters PP. That stands for Paraprotien I know but it also stands for Practical and Positive. And, I can assure you, I am very Practical and very Positive. That comes out in many different ways, for instance the practical side of me says,?I have…[Read more]

Weird, "YES" that is it, I just knew there was something different about you Bridget >:-) .

Kindest Regards
