Thankyou John, David and Min how good it is to have friends who care I am as calm as can be really Had to tell the kids in a very matter of fact way so that they dont panic which helps me get a grip As you say Min tomorrow is another day and there is no choice but to get on with it! Mind you there might be a bit of whinging after 4 days of the…[Read more]

Oh Dear Bridget, back on the band wagon again.
Dont worry today is a bad day, and bad news is a bitch but tommorow is a new day and brings a new challenge.

Hi Peter and welcome I hope we can reassure you both As Eve said the build up to treatment and the anxiety that goes with it can often leave you feeling a little depressed as well as the physical symptoms once you stop treatment.

HiGarry,
I wonder if your sister is on strong pain killers? As they can cause strange things in patients if they are too strong.
It goes without saying she must be suffering from anxiety too, is she on any anti depresants that are interacting badly with her myeloma drugs?
I suggest that you ring her consultant, tell him you wonder if you…[Read more]
