We went very early,in and out in no time,they will phone this afternoon,if treatment needed,but I think we have turned the corner.8-) 😀 🙂

Slim is not trying to rush his recovery,enjoyed being out to day,but knows he is trying to run before he can walk:-P

So with a little bit of luck it will be bloods only.Love Eve

Hi Mari

Hi Jen

Did you ask if your Dad had any tumour,s or lesions!!! this could be the pain,but chemo drugs should stop it,you do not say what pain relief your dad is on!!!or how much weight he has lost.

Hi Jean

Slims had thrush,I think they put it down to not enough fluid,and with there system taking a beating it,s just one of those things.Slim has tablets at the moment in his SCT pack.

I feel very much like you,.Eve

Tom
I doubt it very much,
They could do a good documentary on Myeloma,not someone dying of Myeloma.
But that would not get the ratings going as good as a documentary as a person who is going to die of Myeloma,and don,t forget they gave you a time limit to do it in a year LOL:-P
If they did a documentary on all the new and exciting drugs…[Read more]

You have eased my mind,and my daughter tells me they will be able to take it out in Canterbury,so no long journey back to Kings.

I was worried about it coming out,as Slim had such a bad time of it going in,he said no way were they going to replace this one if it became infected,:-( It seems his vein thinned out and they had to…[Read more]

Officially he is under Kings for 100 days but having bloods and platelets at local hospital.
