    Hi Dai

    Hi Amelia

    I know it's difficult not to worry but franks protein went up from 21 to 30 (over months) and now down to 28. David is right, the doctors take a lot more into consideration. Frank hasn't had any treatment since he was diagnosed 5 years ago. Thank God.

    Try and take it easy

    We all have days like that,because you get desperate for something to work, I must admit to being a pill popper ,mainly to keep my emotions under control,It cannot help your husband to see you so upset,so my advice is go and see your doctor,get some help,because you have to be the strong one at this point in time.
    I am sure other…[Read more]

    Hi Helen
    It does seem worrying at first,but as soon as you mum starts the injections she will improve.
    Slim had a mass of blood clots in lungs,no one realised as he did not get out of breath,plus holes from damage with pneumonia.He has been injecting himself for over 6 months now and we expect this to continue for some time.

    If you put a word…[Read more]
