    Good idea having a little break. Whereabouts in Dorset are you going? I'm just outside Poole.

    Just thought I'd update you as Etta has dropped off.

    Day 1 was Chemo day. Big bag of the stuff and then plenty of bags of fluids to flush it all through, that was on top of the anti sickness, anti this and anti that, she lost count after a while! Anyway, not too bad throughout the day but sick as a dog from about 11pm onwards until early this…[Read more]

    We used World First for the planned trip to Oz in December.
    They asked where we were up to in treatment, about antibiotics and hospital stays etc and the quote came in about £300 including cancellation cover, medical expenses and all the other stuff, and that was for both of us.
    Might be worth giving them a ring to have a chat.

    Hi Ali

    We are just coming to the end of the third month and don't get me wrong it is tough but as others say (I hope) it will be worth it. Frank takes the Chemo tablets every Monday. He was told to take the in the morning but they made him feel anxious and 'funny' for about 18 hours. So on Monday week ago he decided to take them late on…[Read more]

    Hello and welcome.

    I was diagnosed in May 2011 when I was 49 and like your husbands, my MM was picked up via a bloodtest for what I thought was a disease I'd caught on holiday in Australia where I was bitten by loads of mozzies.

    I had 6 cycles of CTD. It wasn't an easy time but I can assure you that it was all worthwhile because the drugs…[Read more]

    Hi Ali

    Sorry you have had to join us but this is the best place for support, to rant and for friendship. My husband is just starting his 4th cycle of CDT and the withdrawal of the Dex is by far the worse. His consultant tried to wean him off it, but for Frank, it just prolonged the withdrawal, so back to cold turkey. His first month was the…[Read more]
