    Hi everyone.
    Thanks for all the good wishes for my appointment on Tuesday. I must admit the closer it gets the more anxious I'm becoming 🙁 Anyway as they say worrying never changes anything so I'm trying to be as positive about it as I can be.

    Dear Teresa my back pain has eased off since my radiotherapy. So as long as I don't overdo…[Read more]

  • Dear Gill

    You have nothing to apologise for, that's what the forum is for. I know if I didn't rant I would go mad. I hope the 'wizard' can work some magic and help ease Stephen's pain. I know it's hard to watch someone you love in pain but I hope Gill that things get easier for Stephen and that you can take things a bit easier. My thoughts are…[Read more]

  • Dear Gill

    What can I say???

    Reading between the lines I have been waiting for you to post,as you say in denial,but it keeps you going,if it did not everyone would give up at the beginning,and at the end of the day Stephen and you are fighters,but some times enough is enough,it's being able to see it and accept it.

    What matters now is…[Read more]

    Hi Judy
    I am sorry about you husband,you do not say much in your posting and have seemed to carry this burden with your family,but your husband was one of the Myeloma victims as well,so my thoughts on what you have endured go out to you.

    Hi Chris

    Its sad we do not have something like the Myeloma Beacon Survive,s Site,
    then we would know how many people are doing well after so many years the longest I heard about before you was 18 years,lots of 10 to 12 years and still going strong.

    When I am feeling a bit down,and I am only the carer,I go to the American site,and it makes…[Read more]

    Hi Teresa

    How are things going,I should imagine the last few days have been very busy,I do hope you have had time to look in here and realise how many people have you in there thoughts.

    Take that walk down the garden,I hope it will bring you some comfort,look forward to the grandchild Peter would want you to find that strength,Love Eve

  • eve replied to the topic My Mums SCT in the forum Treatment 13 years, 3 months ago

    Hi Ali

    Your mum knows her own body best,but I would impress on her about taking anti sickness pill 15 min before she eats,mainly because once you have been sick with a certain food,it puts you off it for a long time,so a food you enjoyed becomes a food that made you sick:-( Love Eve

  • andyg replied to the topic New Need to talk in the forum Carers 13 years, 3 months ago

    Dear Teresa.
    We're so sad and sorry to hear about Peter. We hope you are managing to cope with your sad loss. We hope you have your family and friends support in this difficult time. It's difficult to find words of comfort for you but please know that we are thinking of you and your family in this time of sadness.

    Lots of love
    Andy & Steph…
