Dear Tina – Patrick has certainly been through the mill but I am sure all your love and wonderful support gives him so much. Well done and I admire you both the way you are living with this. It's good to know that despite all his treatment he is actually feeling ok right now – great! May it long continue.

I have managed an increase in…[Read more]

Dear Tina – thanks so much for your very informative reply. I think I have just started the 7th cycle of Revlimid at 15mg. For the past three months we have added an extra week's break along with one I had earlier on so it may be my 6th. Normally during the break my counts start rising but after 2 weeks my platelets in particlar have dropped…[Read more]

Yes Tom I do. It seems a great way to see other parts of the country and anything that might interest us and cheer us on our way. Do we ask the web-team to put up another category or continue in General?

The pics are lovely Lee so thank you. Mine is of RHS Hyde Hall in Essex which is where I go regularly to enjoy and often when I am feeling low and need cheering up. It never fails to inspire me and is so close to where I live. No rampant geese but I occasionally see Monkjack (spelling?) deer there.

Dear Debs – this is the second attempt at my reply to you – the previous one seems to be flying around in the ether somewhere.

Thanks for all the info you gathered from the day on Saturday. It sounds like it was a good day despite one of the speakers leaving you a bit unsure. I think clinicians can sometimes forget that they are addressing…[Read more]

Thank you Lee – it is a lovely picture – the church, the river and the harvest in. Just got in from clinic day in London and it was just what I needed!

Dear Bridget – lame brain or chemo brain it's all the same. Just exploit it for all it's worth! Yes, I agree, it is lovely seeing faces at long last and I loved yours with your family. What better! Mine was taken at a family member's 100th birthday last year. They obviously got my better side. The lady in question is now 101 and I think will…[Read more]

Hello David – really good news about your SCT date and not so long to wait now. We will all be rooting for you. Your question about Melphalan I think is that it aims to kill off remaining myeloma cells after all your previous chemo so that your harvested stem cells can be put back into a hopefully healthy body where they can regenerate and put…[Read more]

Hello Debs – sadly I won't be there as the energy levels these days are just too low, but I did go a couple of years ago and found it a very useful and informative day. It is always very well attended and it sounds like this year's attendance will break all records! I hope you enjoy it Debs and let's know how it went if you can.

At last – I have finally got here:-S I have got to get used to this before I decide my preferences! Being decrepit I am still getting used to electricity…………….
