Are we late birds or insomniacs

I am not sure if places are allowed (told you all I had no idea of any rules)

But I will go for an island that for years I thought was in the Channel (my family settled on Jersey years ago and I STILL have no idea of the geographical layout.

OK I now know that this island is somewehere north:-) (OK very North of GB

I don't think it matters what has gone before as nobody seems to remember. (I told you there were no rules)

Hi Bridget.

In my life knitting, sewing, embroidery and watching paint dry had about the same attraction for me as poking my eyes out with red hot needles.

[b]BUT [/b]I am [b]SOO[/b] pleased that your particular mojo is working again and you are enjoying doing things that bring you pleasure.

[b]YOU GO GIRL[/b]

3 cheers for Ben and all the others

I am sure that we all apprecitate the webteam for the effort they all make to keep us in touch (if not in line:-) ) and would like to say thank you to all of them,

This site is brilliant. Gill (wife of mm person)

Dai you have certainly saved my (and Stephen's) blushes I have been in fits of laughter since reading your post. I was worried that I would embarass everybody so much they would not talk about it. I am now on the look out for little old ladies. I wonder if we could keep one or two in the garage and wheel them out when needed. HOLD ON I am now a little old lady 🙁 I shall be watching for people standing too close and shaking their head

Wonderful news regarding your wife Stuart I hope that Stephen can emulate her

Thanks also to Paul and Scott fot sharing your experience on this drug regime. I will post and let you all know how it goes for Stpehn but, after reading all your posts, I feel a little more hopeful

Love from Gillx

There is a problem for me there David. I would want to delete the bit about having mm being great, but want to keep the bit about meeting nice people.

Light bulb moment! Can we edit each others' posts? 😀 😀 😀

I could just leave the bit about nice people

Thank you all for you replies. You are such a great bunch of people when support or a shoulder to lean on or a bit of humour is required.

One thing we have noticed about Stephen's latest drug combo is very unpleasant, frequent and smelly wind.:-S

Sorry to bring up such a horrid subject but it has got to a stage where he exits a shop quickly because he knows there is going to be a "bottom burp" (children's phrase from years ago) he can't control it and his embarrassment is huge.

Anybody else experienced this?

I will understand if nobody wants to talk about this subject or would prefer to pm me confidentialy

Love to all Gill xxx

I know when Stephen was diagnosed in November 2008 His oncologist told us, with pride, that he had patients who had survived 5 years or more. At the time I wanted to jump out of my seat, shake the man and say "but he is only 53"

I now agree that if you have to have an incurable cancer mm is one that gives you time to reflect and get things right in your own world.

My condolances to you and your family on the loss of your niece David

Oh Sarah

I am so pleased that Gordon felt he had done all he wanted and, as others have said, his legacy surrounds you and your family.

I am worried about travelling to France. It is not like hopping over to Normandy It is right in the centre. We used to do it in one go (12 hours from door to door)but now with dogs and Stephen having mm we stay overnight about half way. We haven't been for over a year because of Stephen's treatment so it is a bit nerve racking

But I have enough French to ask for help and we both have pockets full of credit cards and if we need to use them we will worry about paying the bill later. (why is it that if you clear your credit card every month they up your limit I think it so you end up spending so much you cannot clear it in one go)

Stephen's oncologist has given him the all clear to travel but will see him before we go. There is an English speaking doctor close to were we will be that is familiar with mm (pronounced meealoma in french although spelt the same as here)

I hope that our broadband will be switched on and if so I will keep you all updated as to how cold we are. (huge old town house 1 measly wood burner bobble hats at night and layers of clothes to sleep in)

YUP we are mad francophiles who should know better:-)

[GillParticipant]

I really hope that you get as great a result from Velcade as Eve's Slim did By the time you read this you will probably have had you BMB I do hope it was not too bad.

MM patients go through enough without nasty painful things on top

Goodness such long and complicated words recently :-S

Let's go SOUTH for some simplicity

OTH

[GillParticipant]

On a a very light note does that mean we can all delete anything we don't agree with:-)

Hmmmm who do I want to disagree with?????

Nobody actually. You are all great. Come on somebody say something controversial so I can go wham wham wham:-) and delete you 😀 😀 😀

[GillParticipant]

Welcome Home Min I am pleased that you seem to have slotted back into home without too much trouble. You sound as though you are going to be very busy in the coming months
