Hi Chrissie
Concerning the AL,you have to help you husband to get up in the middle of the night,and at his age needs to go more frequently ,you do not have much choice because he cannot afford to fall,if he brakes his hip you will not be able to manage him at home,if you do not get the full amount appeal.it will be back dated and his position…[Read more]

Hi Eve thank you for thinking of us all. I havent felt up to coming on chatting as my time is filled with work family and spending what time we have left with mum.
The wedding was lovely and everything went to plan. mum was to ill but we went from her house and had a few pics before we went. mum waved us off.
Mums condition is deteriorating and…[Read more]

Hi Jo,

If they can offer you Velcade sub-cut then demand it… there is no comparison – sub-cut has far less side-effects, is easy peasy to administer and has none of the kerfuffle about finding a vein and butchering the back of your hand with cannulas.

Every new Velcade patient at my hospital is being treated this way – so don't 'wait and…[Read more]

Hi all,

Well this started as a test for the picnik software but ended up as 'Guess Who'… in any case the prize goes to Min… I am second from the left with curly hair and flyaway trousers… although I was a mature student (25) at the time of this photo there are at least 4 Phd students at or about my age in the line up… as a matter of…[Read more]

Hi Mvis that was a great brainwave! Your idea about recording our symptoms etc would be a good one perhaps our moderators will read your post and suggest something I am getting expert at doing the injections now and most of the time it doesnt hurt at all !!The other plus factor is I dont have any bruising when I do it whereas my tummy was black…[Read more]

Hi Chrissie it did take several months before I felt the benefit , I was diagnosed in August 2006 I then had induction chemo before having a stem cell transplant in April 2007 It took most of that year to feel well again and then I had to have a hip replacement as the steroids had destroyed my hip joint! I agree with Eve one day at a time helps…[Read more]

😎 Hi Tom

Hi Chrissie

You have to take it one day at a time,and when the good days are there enjoy them.his…[Read more]

Hi Chrissie I know its awful when you first hear the words that tell you your loved one has myeloma At the moment I am sure everything seems very scary with all the drugs and terminology But things will get easier as he carries on with his treatment and you will see him looking and feeling better . It sounds as if his doctors are being cautious…[Read more]
