I have no idea regarding all the jargon but it sounds from others that have posted it is all good news.

Couldn't be more pleased for you and long may it continue Love from Gillxx

Hey Cheeky Tom

How come you "blagged" your way into the under 50s. They will probably ban you now they know how ancient you are:-)

Love from Gill

Much enjoyed that Dai thank you Gill xxx

Sorry I have not replied before Kevin. Too busy feeling sorry for myself.I do hope that your medical team find something that will bat your latest problems into touch very soon.

Also Good luck to Sharon fingers crossed that all is OK

Gill xx

Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement, especially to all the people who have trod this path and have their own battle to fight It means a great deal to have your support. Yes today is better.

I realised a long time ago that if one worries about the time that is left you may as well just throw that time away. I just needed to…[Read more]

Fingers crossed for you both

Hi Min

I am so sorry that you have had a chain of bad news regarding Peter's health. I have my fingers crossed for better news for you.

Nothing about mm is funny but I think I am so stupid I make myself chuckle. When you mentioned tanks I thought Peter kept fish:-/

You are right about Co-enzyme Q10 it really helps with cramp. My…[Read more]

Dear Gaye

Thank you so much for your reply I needed somebody to make me put my sensible hat back on. It just comes as such a shock when you seem to have got some "normal" life back to be told by mm "fooled you there didn't I?"

One more bottle of champagne left and that is staying in the garage until Christmas day. If we get mum in law to…[Read more]

Hi Pual

It is my husband who has mm and he is the grand old age of 55 Although He has been through all the first line treatment chemo SCT etc I am probably not the best person to talk to as we are of a different age. I do know that there is an under 50 site on here and I am sure that you will get a great deal of support and information from…[Read more]

So pleased that your biopsy was pain free. I know that I have seen my big "Bob the builder Oh it is only a 4 inch gash in my hand/foot whatever put a plaster on it and stop fussing" husband clench his teeth, hands and curl his toes when having a bmb.

The wretched tool they use looks like a giant corkscrew and I remember somebody on here posting…[Read more]

Hi Roz

I am a late bird too. I am sorry that your visit did not turn out as you hoped. I have my fingers crossed that Michael will be made more comfortable and less agitated over the next few days.

Let's all raise a glass (or coffee cup) to hope Gill

Hang on in there David. You are, at least, half way
Love from Gill xxxx

Hi Arlene

My husband was 53 when diagnosed in 2008. He had a SCT in the summer of 2009 and has been very well since his transplant and is in total remission. He is due to see his oncologist in a week or so and I always panic beforehand but other than that we get on with our lives.

He has damage to his spine that was caused by mm before the…[Read more]

Hi Lynn

I am sorry that the news was not good for John and you I hope he feels a little bit brighter today. Do keep us posted on his progress

Gillx

It must be awful to have to battle through it and put up with the cold but it certainly looks gorgeous

Gill

Hi Roz

I hope they arrange a meeting very soon, and that the best thing for Michael can be sorted out.

It must be frustrating for you but if Michael's calcium levels are back on track let's hope he becomes less confused.

I have my fingers crossed that the weather does not stop you getting to the hospital and want to let you know that we…[Read more]

Hi Sandie

I am glad that others have said about the biopsy as I am the wife of an mm person and so have no real idea, but I can say that I have seen Stephen's toes curl when he has to have them (he does not have sedation) so I think it is a good idea for your mum to be a bit woozy.

She sounds as though she is coping very well with having mm,…[Read more]

That seems to be good news Bridget and I wish you the very best of luck. Stephen cannot be operated on because there is too much damage and so still relies on MST gabapentin and parecetamol. He has, by determination practicaly cut out the oromorph.

I do hope it goes well for you although the thought of further surgery must be daunting. Keep us…[Read more]
