Lovely to hear good news Good luck Gill

As David said things get lost so I will put in my tuppance worth again. We used MIA the first time we went away after Stephen was diagnosed. Then we discovered we were covered for travel on our health insurance policy. So we had paid twice for the first trip >:-(

Do check your existing policies before you pay out.

Bon Voyage Gill x

Tina my advice would be [b]Don't[/b]. If you are desperate for money you may not have a choice, but if you can trim down your living costs then just cocentrate on getting better.

It's my husband that has mm I signed off work with stress when he was first diagnosed as he was so ill then. After an exemplary record of attendance and decades of…[Read more]

I am so pleased that Slim is a little better . Stephen had platelets too it seemed to be the norm. I know that I get boring with my home spun ideas (couldn't spell phylosophy) but food is best served very little and often. Served on a tea plate it gives the illusion of tiny and doesn't overwhelm I am sure that Slim will go from strength to…[Read more]

Well done you. Don't forget to check your existing insurance policies (we found Stephen was covered for travel without any extra premium) If not try MIA they covered Stephen before we looked at our existing policy :-/

Here's hoping that the rev and the dreaded dex do the trick

Dex for breakfast? I think I would rather stick to my toast and chunky marmalade washed down with a strong cup of coffee

So pleased to hear your news Good luck yo you both
Love from Gill xxx

I wish you both huge luck I know well the journey to Kings I went from Orpington to Denmark Hill and trudged down that blooming hill to Kings with all the "tempting goodies" I could think of. Trudging back was lighter with dirty washing, mainly PJ bottoms (too much information.)

Stephen had both SCTs in Kings a great,wonderful and caring place.…[Read more]

Kind regards Gill

Hi Vicki

Stephen had 2 SCTs the first gave him 16 months. He sailed through it and felt quite guilty that others seemed to suffer. His second failed and he then was sorry that he had "wasted" some of the time he had left by being in hospital and feeling a bit weak. Hindsight is a wonderful thing:-| Obviously if the second SCT had worked he…[Read more]

Dear Siobhan

Although I spoke to your mum on the phone I never met her in person.

You have thanked people on here for being her friend but believe me she was a true friend to all of us and will be sadly missed.

Like others I have cried buckets since hearing of your mum's death. She was always one of the first to greet you when you…[Read more]

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Bridget's death. She was a friend to all of us, an avid poster and will be sadly missed.

We maybe saying goodbye to her but I am sure that we will always remember her. I know that she was an avid knitter of headgear and crotchet She made hats for many people on here for when their hair was not their…[Read more]

Dear Dai

Thank you for your reply. Stephen had shingles a little while ago and was in great pain so I am sorry to hear that Bridget is suffering with it and having it effect your eyes must be horrendous. When Stephen was told by one of his chemo nurses that some people get it in their eyes he felt very lucky that it was only down one leg and…[Read more]

Thanks and apologies

Thank you all for your good wishes and sorry for my bad language.

I very rarely use those words (never anything worse) but when angry enough well— you saw the sort of thing I burst out with and believe me I am so so angry. This illness is such a horrid insidious thing. It does bring out anger.

Thank you to the…[Read more]

It sounds as though you are moving on Roz.

Good luck for the future

I have not been on here for a while as we were away and Stephen (mm person ) was not very well.

I was concerned not to see Bridget on here.

I do hope you are feeling a little better Bridget. Do post if you can and I think I speak for all of us when I say we are thinking of you.

Much love Gill xxxx
