Hi Teds

I make heavy light chains which is an indicater of MM being on the move I have started velcade as my light chains had shot up it was the light chains that helped damage my kidney so its omportant they keep a good eye on it you may be ok but it might be a good thing the doctor wants to see you early

Hi Keith

Hi Michelle

Your More than Welcome.
Am sure the strenth that your Mum and you have and are showing will be a boost for those that are and have been through what your Mum and yourself have gone through, am sure you will be a great asset on this forum to advice what to do/expect when treatment fails.

Love Tom xxxx

Thank you so much for your lovely message – I'm sure you know just what a real difference it makes.
You are right – I will be out on Harry again in a few months and we will have forgotten all about chemo.
love Carol xxxxx

H Sarah,

i've been there and had that sort of 'care' Each at my own 'City' hospital and at the Queen's Medical Centre, it has occurred at the 'initial Assessment Units', where they diagnose your problem before moving you to the 'specialist' ward.

The staff are usually overwhelmed, under-trained and have not got a chance of understanding the…[Read more]

Your welcome Tina but am not a fan of the stuff myself but i do chew every now and then and it gives me wind, I burp a lot and the young bride (elaine) knows i have been chewing ha ha.

Good Luck and hope your soon sorted

Hi Michelle

Your Mothers strenth has been passed on to you it shows in your post only four weeks after the passing of your good Mum,I admire both your Mum and you for fighting what is a hell of an illness with strenth and dignity, I bet those five years were filled with laughter and joy.

Thank you for posting am sure it will give us all…[Read more]

Hi Sarah and Henry

what a tale I really wonder what will happen to some of us in the NHS systems so much laxness and uncaring attitudes make me shudder poor Henry I wonder if he is doing a bit too much working all thosr hours perhaps thats why he has been so open to infection getting a bit run down I hope he feels much better soon
Love Jo x

Hi Peggy

I went in on the 1st December 2009 and was released on the 16th Dec and my xmas and new year was cancled till 2010 🙁 but it was well worth it 😀

I am sure the recovery will go smooth for you

Love Tom "Onwards and upwrards" xx

Hi Sue and Michael

Am sorry Michael is having a lot of Pain am sure they must have stuff to stop or lessen it all?.

I know its Michael that is ill with the MM but you need to look after yourself also and the tears are ok you have no reason to feel that you have to apologise for it.
Can you get some help in to help even if its an ear to chat…[Read more]

Hi Sarah and Henry

Well you have both been going through the wars bless, and you do right with shouting, but i do think the NHS is an excellentt thing but leke everything it has to be run correctly at all levels.

And I also must say that Henry is working long hours am sure I cant do those hours and I had my SCT in 2009 :-0 as for me am…[Read more]

Thank you all very much indeed. 🙂

Janet joined me in my cough come dribble-sniff and treated herself with proprietary medicines, while i stuck to the AB's and Vick. 😎

The good news is that we are both much better and the dribble-sniffs and cold-coughs both seem to be receding nicely… and best of all the A/B's seem to have the C:…[Read more]

Much love to you both.

Dai.

Hi Vicki & Colin.

Hi Carol,

I have followed this thread closely and was very interested to learn about PAD and other such treatments… so I'll restrict myself to saying that I am sorry you relapsed, glad that the treatment they chose for you seems to be going well and a personal wish that you will soon be in remission, maintenance backed or no and feeling as…[Read more]
