Hi Keith
I think I have come out in sympathy,think there is a bug going round,thought i was getting better then went down again,doing my best to keep away from Slim
With both of us being ill,I feel quite vunerable,as not use to this,we are both walking round like two old codgers,moaning every step of the way,dehydration makes your bones ache…[Read more]

Hi Jen
if I am correct your Dad is on Velcade,There is a long list of side effects,so don,t worry to much,when he goes into clinic they usually real off a lot of questions,anything that is abnormal is looked at.
The Dose of Velcade can vary its usually decided by blood test,its a good thing as they check the bloods each time.If any of his levels…[Read more]

Hi Helen,

That's all the heavy work out of the way… now next time have more coffee breaks and allow the great and the good to come to you… with only truly exceptional circumstances moving your backside from its place on your chair.

Take a Whoppee Cushion with you to ensure you remember each time you leave and return to your desk.8-)…[Read more]

Hi Craig & Etta,

I'm glad that everything's going relatively smoothly towards the SCT.:-)

Now, I've never flown so far around the world but I have been at 3 month's post-SCT. Hmmm. I think you should consider Easter as a target… a great goal and while the season might not be as socially important or attractive, Etta will feel much…[Read more]

Hi Tina
Well i would agree with helen, if you are managing a Motor Home, thats good,Slim cannot manage ours.
As for the burping or hiccups,just keep explaining its because of the drugs people will understand,18 months and SCT Slim still hiccups like a gooden!!:-

You are an eager beaver!!!!,just look at it as part and parcel of the course.
Love Eve

Hi Pennie

I have to say I never fail to be amazed.
First as your brother has the knowledge let him help you,,he will be able to tick all the boxers,plus apply for disability blue badge.

You and your…[Read more]

Hi Etta

Just a thought ? I had my SCT in December 2009 and I was told not to fly for at least 6 months?? so the first holiday abroad my Stem Cells had was end of July.

Hi All,

Seen by my 'thorough' GP this morning and after examination he declared me 'on the mend'. Apropos of Keith's dilemma, he thought my dose of 40mg of Dex in one sitting to be 'rather excessive'. He didn't envy me having so much at once… I told him that I felt so bad initially yesterday morning that I decided to leave it until…[Read more]
