Hi Tom
I just say it as I see it,and people should not ask questions if they do not want answers. I think coming from Liverpool is the reason people seem to be more blunt and take bad news and turn it into a lighter thing,it helps people to talk to you about it.
I do find my sense of humour does get me in to trouble down south,as I have aged,I…[Read more]

Hi Jane

Welcome to the club, it's my husband with Myeloma and he is 2years down the line,nice to hear you have a sense of humour,I think it will hold you in good stead as your treatment progresses.
