Hi Gina,

I am so sorry that your Mum has passed but I am glad that her passing was both painless and peaceful. I am also glad that she shared your big day by seeing you off from her house, you can take it for granted that she was full of pride for you.

My thoughts are with you and your husband and also with Luke and Josh… while I am sure…[Read more]

Hi Only me

My dad went in for his SCT yesterday, and he starts his chemo today, so we are only a little way behind you. I popped on here to have a bit of a cath up on the reality of SCT, as i'd rather expect the wosrt. I think my mum is unprepared for how tough it will be on dad.

I just wanted to say hang in there, and i pray that your mum…[Read more]

Hi Min
The nurses are very good and never seem to stop,I asked about the strike today and the answer was no we cannot strike!!!!!!
I also asked how long they would have to work for there pensions all of them said to 68 years old!!!!!!

Hi Dai
The cost for Slim is topping £3000 as now in 8th month,but if you compare that he was in ITU for 10 days at a cost of £2000 per day its a no brainer.

Hi Helen,

I have had 2 DVT's (Deep Vein Thrombosis) since being diagnosed with cancer (initially Bone Cancer amended to Myeloma 14 months later). The 1st DVT occurred after extensive radiotherapy, the 2nd during Velcade (although my consultant has informed me that DVT's are not normally associated with the treatment).

On the first occasion…[Read more]

Hi Chelle
We all have days like that,because you get desperate for something to work, I must admit to being a pill popper ,mainly to keep my emotions under control,It cannot help your husband to see you so upset,so my advice is go and see your doctor,get some help,because you have to be the strong one at this point in time.
I am sure other…[Read more]

Hi Helen
It does seem worrying at first,but as soon as you mum starts the injections she will improve.
Slim had a mass of blood clots in lungs,no one realised as he did not get out of breath,plus holes from damage with pneumonia.He has been injecting himself for over 6 months now and we expect this to continue for some time.

If you put a word…[Read more]

But if you do go down the road of waiting while Slim is asleep can…[Read more]

Eve have you thought of attacking Slims eyebrows when he is asleep ? That would be soooo funny , but a bit cruel I suppose! Having lost my hair 3 times now I can honestly say it doesnt bother me anymore Mind you my eyelashes and eyebrows always stay which helps, but being a baldy is quite liberating Sinead has gone back to her shaved head now too…[Read more]
