Is it just in our area that people take up disabled bays without disabled badges? The other week there was a very large car parked sideways across 2 disabled bays at our cottage hospital. This is a small hospital with no A & E facility tucked away down country lanes. So I cannot believe the person that parked there was an A & E casualty.

So sorry you feel bad I wish that I could remember how long Stephen felt grotty, but he's feeling sort of OK now. Fingers crossed that all goes well Gillx

OK I have to know what is Bara-Brith xx

Lovely to hear some good news Lorraine. So pleased for you Gillxx

What the heck!! Enjoy what you can, when you can xxx

Interesting that it is all females posting on this topic I wonder if the men don't notice or bother about weight. I do hope so then Stephen won't notice how broad in the beam I have become:-)

I have no medical knowledge or training whatsoever but I cannot understand why a picc or hickman line is not fitted as a matter of course. Stephen (mm person) has had a line ever since needing regular bloods taken and medication put in. His current line is attached to his chest with 3 tubes coming out of it (no restriction to any daily task). One…[Read more]

Here Here I was wondering if she is OK I too have tried to contact Bridget away from this site and got no response

Hope all is OK Gillx

Hi All

I have thought about what I posted and have realised that I am not actually "rude" (at least I don't think so) but maybe have become too honest.

When asked by the server in a multiple eatery where we had breakfasted during a long journey (the one where a chef is tiny) "how is your meal, everything OK?" Instead of my usual reply of…[Read more]

So pleased you managed to get a decent quote I hope you have a great time.

Just to add for info that it is also worth looking at MIA and we found that we were insured by our general health insurance for travel. So do check any insurances you already have

Bon voyage Gill

I have only just caught up with your post of Amy. I have fond memories of listening to very talented tribute bands on various holidays. They always seemed to be having a fun time as well as entertaining the holiday makers. She sounds really good and I hope she is having a great time.

Fingers crossed that you get over to see her soon.

Love…[Read more]

Hi Sue

My mm husband, Stephen, came out from hospital over 2 weeks ago after receiving his 2nd SCT. He has not been very well since but we are plodding on.

Trying to get him on a Bendamustine clinical trial was mentioned after Stephen relapsed following his first SCT and his consultant was not aware that he had further stem cells…[Read more]

Hi Sarah

Sorry to hear that Gordon's second SCT has not done the trick. Stephen is seeing his specialist on Friday to find out if his second SCT has helped.

He is feeling quite unwell at the moment so I am worried that the news will not be good. I hope Gordon's new drugs help and wish you both luck

Sorry Dai

I got the gist of your post wrong and thought you wanted an exact outcome of the procedure (I shouldn't post so late at night:-/

I hope all is going well Love from Gill xx

"I just would have liked someone to have sat down with me and to have explained what might or could happen during the treatment and what, if anything, we could do to either improve the conditions if and/or when they arose… its not to much to ask… surely?"

I think that this b***tard cancer is so unusual and so individual that there is nobody…[Read more]

I too was hoping for posts from Jet. I think she was going through the mill about now. Fingers crossed for her Gill

Hi from one Gill to another. My husband has mm and I learnt very early to read posts and advice on here and not trawl the internet.

Gill xxx

I am so pleased that it all went well. Here's hoping it gets better and better. If finger crossing does work then let's hope everybody that reads these posts crosses their fingers for a second or two:-)

Love Gill xx
