Hi Jane,

Welcome to the forum… if not to the reason for its existence.

CDT is not much fun but I always have a good word for it because it worked very well for me. Like any treatment that includes active chemotherapy your body goes through the mill but if the end result is good then it has been worth it.

I wish you well in all your…[Read more]

Hi Jen

We all felt like that at the very start,medical jargon test results and wondering what is going on.

Some people get confused like your dad,my husband is the same,there is no way i could let him go for treatment on his own,after 18 months of chemo and treatment,he is not the person who started this treatment,it does not happen to every…[Read more]

Hi Kay
Sorry for the long delay in reply but only just popped back on the website as we are staying in Spain for a couple of weeks to see if it helps the pain I have in joints and bones.

Glad to hear that slowing down is helping. I don´t have to go out to work now but I do look after quite a big house and two VERY big horses. My husband is…[Read more]

Hi Jennah,

What treatment is your Dad receiving? If it is Velcade then once you eventually get seen to it will be a quick injection into your Dad's tum and then its over… of course, getting ready can mean a lot of waiting about. If it's something else then it can mean a lot of sitting around… where your Dad will inevitably fall asleep at…[Read more]

Hi Onlyme,

My consultant broke the news gently by saying that there was an upwards move but it needed confirming over 3 months… just to make sure it was not a blip, which do sometimes happen… but the 2nd month's increase put paid to hopes of blips and glitches… we knew. As a matter of fact I knew after the 1st rise with out being told…[Read more]
