Hi Andy
Just caught up with this post after replying to your post on "general".
I am so sorry your results from you Rev/Dex havent been so good. I really do hope as its only after your first cycle that its just a temporary blip and further cycles will be successful. I will keep fingers and toes crossed for your meeting with the consultant on…[Read more]

Hi Andy
So good to have you back. Sorry you had to pay an unscheduled stay to the hospital but glad you are now feeling much better.
Good luck with the Rev/Dex. Lets hope it stops those little sods in their tracks!!!!

Hi Ann
A very warm late welcome to you and to Pete.It must have been quite a shock to you both and you probably feel like the rug has been pulled out from under your feet.There is an awful lot to take in but take each day at a time. As others say this is the best site to go on with so much support. You will have lots of new things to take in but…[Read more]

Hi Sarah
I was so sorry to hear that you had meltdown at the Doctors and hope you feel better today. Eight months is a long time on this rollercoaster of MM and you probably feel physically and emotionally drained.
I too am carer to my husband Pete who was diagnosed with MM a month after Henrys diagnosis.I was told that my GP could refer me…[Read more]

Hi Tina
Please keep that chin up. I know sometimes you just want to get on with things with a view to feeeling better and when things dont appear to move fast enough it does feel frustrating.
Good luck for Wednesday and I hope that the chemo will work well and give you the best results towards having SCT.
Love Lyndax

Hi Tom
I might have missed the boat but I would be so grateful if you could also pass on my love and good wishes to Bridget when you next go on Facebook.
I am not very good on the computer at the best of times and Facebook is altogether another ball game to me!!!!
Thank you so much
Love Lyndaxxxxxx

Hi Sarah

Hi Dai

Hubbie Pete has the tingling around mouth and lips since he started the Dex. No problems with passing water but does have hiccups most Tuesdays which lasted several hours. As you can imagine that was very tiring but he has found a great exercise which seems to now stop them. If needed I will gladly pass on to you. Also on Dex Day his…[Read more]

Hi there Mavis,

Hi there Bridget
Thanks so much for replying to my post. I have taken on board what you have said. I used to work in a busy pharmacy seeing lots of people but most of all working with a lovely bunch of girls.
