    Hi Everybody
    Well things are moving fast now,all dates have been moved forward.

    Slim was lucky,he asked could he have anything done locally instead of travelling 85 miles to London,so they allowed him to have BMB in Canterbury.
    Hoping he might be allowed to have the Cyclophosphamide 5 hr drip also in Canterbury.( fingers crossed ):-P

  • Hi all
    When first diagnosed in October 2011 I was put on CDT regime. After 5 cycles my paraproteins refused to go below 30. My chemotherapy was changed and I was put on to PADS(Velcade) regime. Today I had an appointment at the hospital for bloods and to see my consultant. I was told my paraproteins are resisting the Velcade and that another…[Read more]

  • Hi Paul

    IT took me a long time to get Slim to claim benefits,his thinking, was he was retired.he would not get anything.
    All though it was costing us a lot of money on petrol, parking,and general things that I would not normally buy,all his clothes were to big for him,plus lots of extra washing,not to mention the carpet that was ruined.
