Hi Tina,

There are a few people on the forum that have made the transition back to work who will be able to offer more empathetic advice… But I would say that you should be guided by both your body and your mind.:-|

You might feel strong enough physically to undertake the major parts of your job… Or certain tasks identified and agreed…[Read more]

Hi Ian,

I developed PN after my frontline CDT and it was made worse by my Velcade treatment. At times is has proven to be quite painful and it is with me 24/7… at its worst when I am feeling tired. At its best I can only describe the sensation as being like chilblains… Or like that feeling you get as a child when you have been out in the…[Read more]

Hello Mavis
thats wonderful news see God was listening i did'nt have any withdrawals from CDT just a bit from the DEX lets hope your mobility eases and you can get around much better
God bless Jo x

Hi
I agree with John and Sue
Slim never got it until after he finished Velcade,he had Amitriptyline 5 to help him sleep,then when he was in Kings they gave him 25 and said it was a form of PN,I bought the Palmers cocoa butter Slim very seldom complains of his feet now.
I also get Polytar for his skin and must say since he washers in it,has…[Read more]

Hi Gill
I did not know what a banshee was either,heard the saying!!!!:-)made me laugh

Gill I know I am over the top when it comes to Slims eating,years ago he ate like a horse,but he is down to 61.8 k my daughters are all going on diets to stay below his weight.LOL.
For every ounce he looses I gain,I eat to keep him company,because eating is…[Read more]

Hi Andy

That is why I asked were you are having treatment!!!,At the end of the day how do you feel about your treatment,There are Trials going on in all the major hospitals.
If you put Trials in the search engine on here it will come up with all trials plus were they are,If you ask Dai he will tell you his experience of not having the best of…[Read more]

Hi Andy
I noticed you joined the forum in Feb this year,but started treatment in Oct 2011,I have followed your different treatments,I am just surprised they do not seem to give them much time to work,I say this because Slim started treatment in January 2011 and was still having chemo up to the Christmas2011.
It took a long time to get that stage…[Read more]

Hi Andy,

I'm glad you had a good time in the Lakes… I always enjoy my stays there, regardless of the weather .

The fluctuation in your PP's must be galling, to say the least… it's not so bad for me and Keith because we are on R & D as a maintenance regime… as long as our numbers stay relatively stable we are OK but you need yours to…[Read more]

Hey Eve and Slim

How did it go? did you get a phone call yesterday afternoon? or is all OK 😀

And yes Vicki Eve Knows am with Slimm all the way 😀 but am Man enough to know that the Carers (awful word that:'-( ) know whats best for us MM folks, my Old Woman (elaine) and Sons all take over when they are with me :-0 so am pleased when am…[Read more]

Hi Vicky

I think it is a man thing,but without meaning too you do as a carer tend to take over most things, It is there body. I suppose it,s just instincts to want to help and make them get better.
So he becomes the stubborn grumpy old man,and I become the nagging,fussing old lady.[it,s a very fine line]
Slim has an ally in Tom,but I think…[Read more]

Hi Vicki and Colin
