Dear Roz
My heart goes out to you. You are in that dreadful situation of almost beginning to grieve the loss of Michael before it happens. Of course you will be feeling "I want my husband!" You will also worry away at whether you could have stopped him having more treatment which, in the event, hasn't worked and which has resulted in this…[Read more]

Hi Keith how annoying they havent found the cause of your pain yet , I do hope they identify it quickly so you can get some relief As for the lytic lesions , they are damaged ares of bone Gaye more like pitting, well I have a skull full of them and I can honestly say they dont bother me So on a flippant note welcome to the pepperpot club, which…[Read more]

Hi Amelie its possible Johns platelets are low , which can cause bleeding A blood test will show whether this is the cause , probably best if he rings his team love Bridget x

Hi again, David

Everything is relative isn't it, and I can't believe you are now giving yourself happiness rating 7! Do hope you are headed home soon because after a long stay it does feel like an "escape" and even if it is a bit scary without the immediate help at hand, it always feels good to be in your own place.
My prayer is that, by…[Read more]
