Hi Peter I have PM you for info
Love Jean x

I had the pleasure of meeting Keith regularly, either at the day case unit or the local support group, and he was everything and more the person who posted here. He was bloody minded in his approach to MM he wanted to and did tackle it head on. He wasn't afraid to try new treatments or drugs but he knew the ultimately the damned MM would prevail.…[Read more]

Hi Peter

I read the article plus comments,my thoughts on this, it was sad to hear the last comments !!! I think if you are generally healthy,it gives you a head start when cancer strikes,but I do not believe if you do deprive yourself of things you have found a magic Formular .

When Slim got Myeloma I took up reading all about diets ,and…[Read more]

Everyone can do fact but it,s just paper work or if you like a survey .

Hi Dai

Well I must have read it wrong as well,Revidimide and Velcade had to be used before eligibility for Muks 5 .Which if only patients who were on CDR then Velcade then relapsing would be eligible,I would think they will be hard pushed to find patients!!!!

I would seriously question eligibility !!! Good luck Dai. Love Eve

Hi Everyone

Getting a cleaner is the best thing I did,only 2hrs but makes a difference,mind you she sought of hinted about my 20 year old dyson,and she did bring her own steamer,I went out and bought one the next week,no doggy smells to be found,when Slim has a moan about her moving things,I have to have words with him,he has old man syndrome…[Read more]
