Great to hear your PP's have vanished, Mavis!

Now you can concentrate on getting your strength back.

P.S. My last (3 monthly) appointment was with a registrar rather than my usual consultant and he said "well, we have looked for PP's but cannot find any!" which sounded initially as if he was giving me bad news till my…[Read more]

Fingers crossed that all goes to plan, Helen!

And your hair looks really good 🙂

Hi Stephen!

I don't know if you are able to get online from hospital, but realised you must be a few days into your SCT by now and hope all is going uneventfully for you.

I had mine in Aug/Sep 2010 in Bournemouth without too many problems and am still in complete remission, with now no medications apart from a monthly biosophonate (sp?)…[Read more]

Hi Ali!

I haven't logged on here for a while but wanted to wish your Mum well – by now I hope she has had her Hickman line fitted with no problems/discomfort and I have my fingers crossed that they do find her a bed so they can do #2 as well before sending her home.

My hair didn't start to fall out till I was about to go in to hospital for…[Read more]

Congratulations on your remission, Avis!

It is good to hear that you are feeling able to carry on working now – but do make sure you listen to your body and take things easy if you feel you need to.

Thank you for making such a great contribution by persuading your company to "adopt" Myeloma UK as their charity to support this…[Read more]

What an amazing story!

Congratulations to Ann on achieving so much – she is definitely an inspiration to us all!!

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this sad time, Siobhan.

Like many of us here I never met or even spoke to your Mum, but her inspirational kind postings, private messages and emails helped me immensely especially at the beginning of my MM journey.

I will miss her immensely and think of her with fondness especially when I…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum, Jane!

What part of the country are you in?

How great to log on here today and see that Slim is home!

Just being in his own familiar surroundings will be a great boost I am sure.

I found my tastebuds took a while to get back to anywhere near normal so concentrated on strongly flaoured food initially to tempt the appetite. Tom's "small portions on small plates" tip is a good one, much…[Read more]

I am glad that the "come into the office for a chat" turned out to be good news rather than bad and that those pesky pp's keep going down!!

Hello Elfriede!

I noticed this is your first post on the board so wanted to welcome you to our band of fellow MMers and their families.

I have no knowledge of the blood disorderyou mentioned but hopefully one of our many members does.

With love

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!!

Do…[Read more]

Such good news, Dai!!

Thinking of you singing along with "Come on Eileen" brought a tear ot two to my eyes.

Keep on keeping on!!

Fantastic job, Wendy – both of completing it at all and of doing the same time as before MM reared its ugly head!

I am so glad you are enjoying your holiday, Helen.

The closest I have got to NZ is watching the Lord of the Rings films, so I really envy you the experience.
