Hiya Wink… Thank you for your message.

You are right, it is the damage that MM causes that is the really problem! I always say that if Melv just had Cancer to accept without the disabilities that it has caused, he approach it with determination and fight with everything he had. However, as he is slowly losing 'who he is' due to no longer…[Read more]

Hi Susannah and Michael

Just to let you know that i am still rooting for you. Do hope the antibiotics are beginning to do their job and that Michael can be home soon – there is no where like it.

I guess all of us MMers think about our end, from time to time and wonder which way we will go. I am sure we all hope and pray for a gentle…[Read more]

Hiya!

Crept into under 50s group to read your post.

Sorry things aren't going so well for Melvin – ion fact it sound pretty horrible.

Do hope that pain is beginning to be got under control. I am also a great one for recommending asking to see the specialist pain team if you haven't already.

Lots of love to you both.

Hi Lizzy

Welcome from me too. Sorry your Mum has had such a bad time to begin her MM journey with. I do hope she is coming out of the dark tunnel.

The one good thing about the treatment of MM is that there are so many paths to try. Many of us have found CDT, a more traditional treatment, very successful, so don't despair that your Mum…[Read more]

Hi Everyone

Thank you so much for all your good wishes. It is good that we can share joys and soorows here. Good too that there are a good number of us in remission. It must encourage our newer members just when they are really bowled over by the diagnosis.

Lots of love to all my cyber friends – get well and keep well.

Hi Jo

I'm glad that DAi spotted too that things aren't all well for you. I had noticed it in your posting to me and was going to respond. I have always been so encouraged by your postings.

Do hope the new treatment works very quickly so there is no more kidney damage. Also hope the side effects aren't too bad. Are you still able to…[Read more]

Hi Debbie

Welcome to you and your Dad. Sorry you have had to join us and that your Dad has now to start treatment. I would deffinitely advise a holiday before treatment starts because I found my appitite was seriously affected, also, as others as said, even if he does well, there will be "off" days.

As to driving, I started driving again,…[Read more]

No one can predict how long a…[Read more]

Dear Gill

I'm sorry that you have people around who obviously have no idea what it is like to lose someone so close. Two months is no time at all for healing even to begin to happen. YOU be kind to yourself, and don't expect too much from yourself, even if other people are insensitive.

Do keep in touch here.

Lots of love.

Hi Pat

Sorry you are having trouble with your silver rings. I wear a lot of silver, but not rings, and I haven't had any trouble!

This is a funny disease. We all react so differently and these seemingly "little" things can tip the balance in making us feel depressed.

Do take care.

Hi Tina

You know I'd admire you for following the CDT with the Transplant. I know, from reading what others have experienced, that it won't be an easy time, but, if like with CDT, you mark off the weeks, I know you are going to come fine. What was your PP reading pre SCT?

I know one of the worse things with all this treatment is how food…[Read more]

Hi you three!

I'd also take my hat off if I wore one!!!!

Love and best wishes to all of you.

Oh Sue… :-(. I know that I haven't spoken to you before, I'm quite new. It's also my partner who has MM.

I often wonder *how* you do cope and accept that news??!! If I can be honest, I don't have any advise to give – other than love each other and make this time more special than you have any other.

I am so very sorry Sue…
