Thanks Eve & Jo for the support, its the first time since diagnosis that I have felt really p….. off with it all.I am trying to remain positive but as we say in Yorkshire "By gum" its tough at times.:-)

Hi Paul

Sorry to hear Velcade did not work,I think Andy G had the same treatment,may be it is an age thing as you produce more cels the younger you are ???

Thinking of you both, Eve and hoping all goes to plan without any "exciting" stuff happening.

As my hubby does not know how to set the washing machine programme dials correctly (he just puts in the clothes and hopes for the best) I decided not to trust him with any laundry of my clothes so I spent my entire 5 weeks clad in hospital kit!!
