    Its now 2 months since Nigel passed away, but I feel each day is getting harder. I miss him so much and feel deprived he was taken away from me so suddenly. I expected to nurse him not him go overnight.

    My husband had renal failure with hiss myeloma and if I can be of any assistance let me know. You can have dyalysis with chemo if his kidneys drop to 10 or below.

    Nigel had his SCT scan the same time as you, he is still on co-trimoxszole he takes his Monday and Thursdays. He was told to continue for 3/12 however he wasnt told to stop them on his last hematology appointment, he also takes long term penicillin twice a day. Hope this helps.

    Nigel is on Fletcher Ward and I agree with you that the staff are great. Due to his Kidney failure the consultants have been very aware not to overload him with fluids. He is waiting for a blood transfusion and hopefully will feel a little better afterwards.

    Thanks for the good wishes, Nigel got a phone call yesterday from the Hospital saying they have a bed yesterday he had to get booked in then he can go home and return today. As you can guess it was quite a shock but least he will be home for Christmas. Will keep you informed. Keep well.

    I have persuaded Nigel to go for his SCT he has been given a date of the 29th November at the City Hospital, Nottingham. They have told him he may have to go back on dialysis, I feel really worried because he really didnt want to have SCT for this reason. But to me he is 51 yrs old and has a life in front of him
