Hi Min and Eve I just wanted to say I have never been too worried about knowing the exact paraprotein numbers on my tests, in the first few years before I became a non-secretor, I was just happy to be told they were low or static, I would have found it too stressful to keep wondering how low they were! As you say Min if you concentrate on being…[Read more]

Hi Gina glad to hear your mum finally got started on her treatment you must be so relieved! Hopefully she will gradually get her appetite back and be able to tolerate food ok Gina your mum must be very proud of all of you and I am sure it must be a huge relief for her knowing you are fighting her corner!! lots of love to you both Bridget x

Dear Sarah if only I could do more than send you my love and a big hug I will be thinking of you.You and Gordon have been so strong together, I am sure your strength and positivity have kept him going as it will now Sarah Hang in there Sarah hopefully that slight improvement today will be an even bigger one tomorrow Love to you both Bridget x

Hi Sharon I am so pleased your consultant was more willing to listen to you. It sounds as if the other doctor was sticking rigidly to the trial protocols rather than adjusting doses for your benefit In my experience of trials the overiding factor is what is best for you as a patient and although the protocols are there there is room for changes…[Read more]

Hi Dai

Do hope you got some satisfaction today. So frustrating that your treatment is going well, but that it is your leg that is setting you back.

All the best.

I feel guilty as I had really no problems before, during or after it except for continued pain from crumbled vertebrae that happened before diagnosis.

The Stem Cell Harvest was done in July and meant a couple of days in hospital and three sessions, unfortunately they only got enough cells for one procedure (just over the minimum 2 million…[Read more]

Hi Gill nice to see Stephen has got over this hurdle,it,s a roller coaster ride,all the time,I just wish it would stop for a little while.
Did not see the article you mentioned but don,t you think it is strange how much it has increased in price over 50 years,£2100,cannot see them 50 years ago paying a high price to stop pregnant women feeling…[Read more]
