I think the person who told you that was talking about all cancers,
For example myeloma if caught early there is less damage to bones nothing to do with age,but a younger person is fitter and healthy than a 70. Year old.

Hi Gill

In view of the short time since you lost Stephen you sound to be doing well. I used to talk to my Mum's photo for ages after she died. I found it really comforting and often seemed to get "advice"!

Keep doing good.

Love Mavis xx

Hi David

Love Mavis x

Hi Ozzy

Would like to know more,as when I approached the subject of Velcade again it was. not recieved very well. I just think Slim did well on Velcade,and he is starting to use options up quickly without much remission or in the case of CDT,it was in affective.

At the moment my feelings are that I am angry the way our questions were…[Read more]

Also I used a coco based buttermilk cream which I massaged his feet and legs,I still do this as it helps circulation plus helps with dry skin.

Hi Gill

Two steps forward ,one step back, you are taking little steps!:-)

I cannot help you with the grief of Stephen.but grief of anyone takes time and it has to be done individually .
My daughter and I talk about Matty her son,my first grandchild all the time,some times laughing,some times tears. 16 is no age to die.

I hope you find…[Read more]

Thanks again for everyone's good wishers,

We go to see consultant next Friday,for more results,that they have known the results of for over. 2 weeks,never mind about Slim he,s just the patient!!!

At first we jumped from positive to negative ,now just preparing for more treatment ,Slim more positive,one because he has the mentality of a…[Read more]

A number of people on here,had problems with private insurance,one I can think of is Gill,her husband was at deaths door,and insurance still would not pay,I do not know if they ever recieved the insurance. Before he died.

The insurance make it hard to claim,there is only one way to go, Name and Shame to a national paper.Eve

Hi Jane

Hope things go well for you Eve

Hi Peter

I was ging to say that about Tom bu ran out of nerves,he keeps an eye on my post in case I take the mick.lol
Sorry about spelling this I pad has a mind of its own, Eve

Ho Jean

I am so happy for you,they are good bloods,and I am so happy you have a first class consultant who knows there is no way a man who has had a SCT should be waiting three hours in clinic

Tell Frank if you cheese on toast is not good enough,he can make it all the time and give you a rest. love Eve

Only 3.5in one go!!! That's great.

I know you tend to want to get this over and done with,but you are wise to have that holiday . Good luck Eve

Hi Peter

Very good news,you must be feeling on top of the world

Was interesting what you said about not likening alcohols Slim is the same and he loved his wine. He even tried a G&T yet other people enjoy drinks wonder why taste buds do not come back with some people.
I will not take Toms name in vain ,!!! Lol Eve

Hi Jean and also you Frank.

You so look forward to coming home,then it flops and becomes scary,no support .!!!! We all had it Jean,but your an old hand now,Frank will go in for blood checks,any problems, will be picked up only when they are completely happy with him,concerning bloods and platelets,it will become less visits for hospital. The…[Read more]

Hi

I cannot advice you,but I know someone who can,ring the Myeloma Nurses on here,there are also video s in the library part of genuine people who have treatments,when you have two disease s it complicates things.

I will say no one can guarantee what remission. Anyone can get,they can only hope for time,and if doctors valued patients…[Read more]

Hi Maureen

I am not surprised by your story,as Slim and a few others have gone through a similar path,I actually sent a letter to my original doctor asking for an explanation ,thinking he might just have the guts to admit,the mistakes he made,but it was a waste of time.I phoned for a referral ,you need them private or not,another doctor phoned…[Read more]
