    Hi Eve, Mari and Helen.
    It was a tough consult but on reflection a good one. There wasn't much about my condition she revealed that we didn't already suspect but it was good? to have our suspicions confirmed. Now we know what we are up against and can channel our energies to the fight. It will be good to have a second opinion and some new input.…[Read more]

    Hi Jo

    They said that the cells had been producing Pp for 6 years and then for the past 4 months the PP's were dropping and are now at 8. Consultant went on about rogue cells and made a comment about non-secretory but I got the info from the Myeloma nurse. Am doing research on it.

    Will be thinking of you on Monday, good luck
    Love Jean x

    Hi Jean
    Lets hope so,some one on the net said blackmarket asking £45,000 for tickets,but you would have to use a forged passports as they check ticket belongs to person who enters.

    This is the best though.Eve

    Hi Helen and Tom
    Well he is holding his own,went down to 61.4 now 62.2 so not to bad.
    As you can guess from his name ,he has always been Slim,he looks very healthy at 12st 8lb.But 9st 8Lb gives no room for any extra that might come his way.

    My thanks to you both,for your support,it does look if he has turned the corner,had bloods taken…[Read more]

    There should be a notice some were that tells you ,you have every right to see results of test,and bloods are test.Next time get 20 pence out of your purse and give it to them and shame them,how dare they not give you a print out!!!!!!

    Hi Eve

    Thanks for that. A couple of months ago I asked for a print out and was told they were not allowed to print the results – saving paper!!! So i just make a note of them in Myeloma diary. They said bloods were ok haemaglobin 13.5. Said light chains had changed a bit. Now that I know a bit more I will be more demanding. I remember one of…[Read more]
