Min, Eva and Mavis,

Thank you for your messages of support.

I attended the DayCase Unit this am. for a 'clinical follow up'. They took my vital signs and bloods and then I was visited by the same Doctor who was with me throughout my two DayCase visits last week and my weekend sojourn on the ward. She has been a star… showing concern…[Read more]

Hi Theresa,

I agree with Andy, your post is very brave… I too like the idea that Peter can wander through your mind as he chooses… I certainly like the idea of visiting Janet in moments of need and the idea that I can have a choice in those moments is both comforting and inspiring.

I am sure that you will find the right balance between…[Read more]

Hi Keith,

I know where you are at… I am just coming to the last week of Cycle 7 of Rev & Dex and I have had to contend with this series of gut infections which allow little to no quality of life… although the cause has nothing to do with Myeloma. I have been referred to the Gastro-Intestinal Clinic and I am hopeful that there is nothing…[Read more]

All the best with GCSF, my pain started on day three I think and lasted just over two days 🙂

Hi Vicki & Colin,

GCSF time is with you I see… good luck and here's to a local ache or two. I was told to take paracetamol if the pain got too bad… but it was never more than a constant dull ache… with constant being the key word.:-)

Wishing you the very best of luck and a smooth journey up and into the SCT process.8-)

Love and "Gentle" Hugs

Hi Tina,

Not just CDT… I have often lost my appetite following treatments, infections and other causes. Myeloma doesn't cause appetite loss, that is firmly down to the side-effects of medicines… especially chemo.:-P

It does wear off and one morning you will wake up feeling hungry with your taste buds refreshed and ready for food. Six…[Read more]
