Hi Sally

Somehow I seem to have missed this thread over the past few weeks! Welcome from me. Glad your Dad is doing relatively well on the Trial. I do hope thst it eventually pushes him into a long remission.

Care for the vulnerable eldery seems to have gone down hill these last few years. I'm sorry that your Mum isn't getting the care…[Read more]

My condolences to you and your family, Martin.

I am glad that you were able to access help at home for him and your mother in his last days.

Sending you cyberhugs and condolences, Sarah.

As the others have written already, it is no surprising that you feel no special extra grief at the moment after the hammer blows you have had lately.

I hope all goes well for your family over the next few months as you all come to terms with events.

Luv
Elizabeth

Goodness me, I would not have imagined the swearing censor was a poly-linguist!

Does anyone know any other foreign swear words to test? Could be useful to have an arsenal of sweary words that could slip past the software sometimes 😉

I am about to clean the kitchen (procrastinating by being here) so my word is

Hi Eve and Sharon I was just wondering if Slim has had a full skeletal survey and bone scan Eve? Mine was done when first diagnosed to give them a base-line to gauge existing damage. In my case the damage is so extensive there are only two places free of myeloma, my left forearm and left thigh!!Everywhere else has more holes than any pepper pot…[Read more]

Dear Bridget

Sorry you still have to wait till tomorrow for the first RT. The fact that you are to have four sessions sounds like they are really taking it seriously and hopefully will knock this terrible pain on the head once and for all.

Much love – hang on in there.

Dear Sarah

I am so sorry to hear of your father's death so soon after Gordon's. I can see that you must be completely numb. The secret to getting through the next difficult couple of weeks will be to take each day at a time and try not to think too far into the future.

Will be praying for you.

Much love.
