Min,

I can only take a wild guess of what its like for you on your side of MM… so I won't even bother to try.

Suffice to say that I truly do care about your well being… your physical and mental health and your coping levels.

I know you are a strong independent woman but the 'independent' part has taken on a new meaning, with a…[Read more]

Hi Eve,

I hope all is as well as can be expected at this stage. One tip… try and encourage Slim to take on fluids. I know it is difficult, even water tastes vile and is difficult to swallow in anything other than small sips… but the alternative is the fluids by IV… which means being attached to the pump and stanchion. This means that…[Read more]

Hi Peggy,

I developed Peripheral Neuropathy following my CDT (Cyclophosphamide, Dexamethasone and Thalidomide) frontline treatment, exacerbated by my Velcade treatment. It still remains with me although, like my Tinnitus, I manage to blank it out for most of the time. But I too have difficulty lifting my legs… I know I have extensive bone…[Read more]

Jean, Eliz, Theresa, Jo, Tom & Rosie,

Thank you for your lovely supportive replies. 🙂

Yes, I am trying to be honest and reflect how I am feeling but it does sometimes also feel a tad self-indulgent… but I'll decide to be kind and allow myself that small sin. 😉

Today was a bump and run day… being DexDay TM and all. 😀

I have…[Read more]

Now aint I said that before The "You can do it Dai, if anyone can then its you" and am as pleased as punch that you have proved me correct, way to go Dai Onwards and Bloomin Upwards, am sure you have more of the "Whatever it takes" in you than I have and I aint gonna let it take me without the Fight.

Keep strong Dai and keep fit 😎

Hello Dia

I have always liked dexys my daughter was taught guitar by their road manager so we met them a couple of times
Regards Jo x

I regret that I have never been but by all accounts from friends it is a delightful place for relaxing and taking it easy in the very best of convivial settings.

So… you must enjoy yourselves, you must go easy and take it slowly and come back recharged and essentially happy.

Dai.

Thank you one and all.

I am a strong person… with some of the things I have had to put up with in my life it was either be strong or fold up like a piece of paper until it was physically impossible to fold any more.

I will cope with whatever happens in the future but somehow this potential early Rev & Dex failure became personal… it was…[Read more]

Brilliant news Dia so it was a blip a good job you decided to stick with it I hope you can have a great nights sleep hopefully you and Janet can now relax a bit

Good for you Wendy!

An ex-athlete I have now given up running for trundling…. I can get up quite a head of steam when I start my trundling… But I have the same stopping distance as the QEII!

Take your time and avoid any injuries… But enjoy your efforts and the rewards.

With you in spirit.:-D

Dai.
