Hi Sue I am glad Michael is feeling a bit better since stopping Thalidomide. I think because it is a drug which has been ferquently used and I hadnt heard many negatives other than PN I underestimated its strength. It totally knocks me out but this may be partly due to the myeloma being active as well The other aspect for me is I have had about 4…[Read more]

Hi Min
How are things going with you,walking your dogs helps i do a lot of my thinking walking my dog,in Deal there is a great bunch of dog walkers there is always someone enjoying the sea air even if it is freezing cold.:-P

Thanks David, i will try that and take him a shake tomorrow afternoon. Dad has no appetite and says what he does tastes wrong.

Popped to see him for an hour today. He'd managed half a cheese sandwich and half a penguin biscuit. He was awake, although v tired, and just laid and listened to me and mum gabbing away….just like being at home LOL…[Read more]

Hi Jenny
I would agree with most of your comment concerning team approach,from what I can gather they have a meeting on Fridays were individual cases may or may not be decided on and then you have to fight your corner.
If you go in to my profile,you can e-mail me personally as I feel when you are dealing with individual consultants its better to…[Read more]

Thanks Mavis, before the Myeloma my dad ate like a horse, so it's awful to see like this.

Hi Bridget
It did not seem a trauma at the time,more unbelievable,Slim was ready to let the whole thing go,but looking back he was already in a great deal of pain because he was wrongly diagnosed.
As I was not married to Slim at the time there was only so much I could do,his mum was a very difficult woman,she seemed to upset anybody in here…[Read more]

Hi Eve how awful for you both to have the added trauma after your mother-in-laws death.No wonder you have doubts Luckily mum arranged her funeral through Age Concern and was able to check it all out before signing up She always says its the best bargain of her life and sometimes amuses herself working out the cost of funerals now as opposed to 20…[Read more]

Hi Min what a lovely generous lady your friend was to think of sparing her husband , no wonder the church was packed. Min you should be proud of yourself for using power tools I am definitely a wimp when it comes to jobs like that! Much to Jeffs despair I am more likely to use a hammer! I am with you on the cardboard coffin though , cant really…[Read more]
