Hi Gill

Matty had a long service,but I do remember some were in the middle,she said anyone who had there own believes and thoughts,were welcome to say a pray or have a few minutes silent to pray in what ever they believed in.!!!!

It is very sad,that people cannot gather to say good bye to a person ,in there own way,Gill you do not even have…[Read more]

Hi Helen
Thank you for more information,it all helps,I agree with you,we know it,s a trial,but cannot see it being with drawn if its working.

As you know Slim has already used Thalidomide and Velcade,and in general Is not in the best of health,with lungs and kidneys.So my way of thinking if any drug keeps Myeloma away it must be a good…[Read more]

Hi Dai
I see were you are coming from Dai,and yes randomisation is the last part of the trial,which has been going on for some time,that is one of the reasons they have now introduced Zolinza which has been used for main stream chemo.

As you know information from America is saying a little and often to kill Protein,this is what Zolinza…[Read more]

Hi Everyone
Well Slim has been randomised for no treatment,which in some ways leaves me wanting to ask questions.???????

As Revlimid is now been accepted by the powers that be as a treatment.If Slim came off the trials could he have it as a maintenance treatment????

Is any one on here not on Trials but on Maintenance…[Read more]

Hi Gill

Well you are on the start of another journey,this is the time to be a bit selfish,this is your husband you do exactly what you want,and arrange a funeral that will please you.

my daughter had a humanist funeral for Matty,at Bobbins,I have to say the woman who did the celebration of Matty,s life was excellent,she had phone calls after…[Read more]

Now Look what you did Gill I went on You Tube to listen to "unforgettable" and I admite I have tears.

Gill I admire you Both (yep Stephen) am sure it was hard near the end but you have both faced it with immense strenth/courage and Love, and for that I and many more folk on here and that know you both will be eternally Grateful.

Hi Les

Hi Mavis

I do not think you can be to relaxed about constipation,as it will create all sought of problems.
Slim got to the position needing ,Movicol Laculose plus Senna tablets,even now I nag him about his bowels,Movicol Twice a day will help your bowels to work at moving the contents,rather than just getting rid of it,so the bowel will work…[Read more]

hi Cathy
Have you found some peace of mind with the knowledge you have gained????
It is hard Cathy,and upsetting to watch some one you care about going through this,but at the end of the day,is there much choice,you just have to not look to far ahead and think we will get through this,you keep asking questions.

I know there are people on here…[Read more]

Thanks All, you've put our minds at rest a bit.

Helen: I think she may have a strong reaction to the Aciclovir as they affected her badly on the CDT last year and the consultant ended up taking her off them.

We stopped them after Monday and her stomach has settled down a lot, hardly any bile/wind etc so when we go tomorrow I'm going to ask…[Read more]

Hi Andy
It is madding when you travel a long way,only to find it is a waste of time, lets hope it improves.
Andy since there is a chance Slim might go on maintenance for Zamiza,i started to read up on it with the Myeloma Beacon some interesting trials,one being Velcade and Zamiza,might be worth looking at as Zamiza is a prohibiter, that breaks…[Read more]

Hi Helen
What a waste of time! Prof Jackson was at a conference and we saw one of his underlings who knew nothing about my case. So was sent on our way with a you'll probably receive a new appointment in the post! Not good.
Hope your chest infection is improving.
All the best
