    I look at this site every day but in such a short time things are moving so fast that I can no longer keep up.

    Dear Dai
    P3 or Not P3 that is the question!
    I know its not easy but you need the P to be super concentrated so try and drink less so what you do produce is more toxic. so to speak. Then after 24 hrs you can go back to your normal x litres a day. forgot already what it should be.
    Hope its how you want it when you do manage to produce but…[Read more]

    David I have had my granddaughter staying with me for the past week, and we all know how full of germs these little ones are.
    She had been coughing non stop in the night keeping me awake. She also has by way of explanation terrible exzma, so rubbing vick on her chest is out of the question. So tried this and it became 'Silent night

  • Thanks Dai.
    I did a big 1st yesterday and went out to the police club to meet my old coleagues.
    First time since I left to care for Peter 11 months ago. I felt terrified but got thru it and now waiting for the next hurdle what ever that is. The truth is I now know nothing will ever be as bad or difficult as saying goodbye to Peter.
    I have a…[Read more]

    Oh Dear Bridget, back on the band wagon again.
    Dont worry today is a bad day, and bad news is a bitch but tommorow is a new day and brings a new challenge.
    Once you have digested the results, you will pick yourself dust yourself off and start all over again as the song says. But guess you dont feel much like singing! Have a large one of what…[Read more]

    HiGarry,
    I wonder if your sister is on strong pain killers? As they can cause strange things in patients if they are too strong.
    It goes without saying she must be suffering from anxiety too, is she on any anti depresants that are interacting badly with her myeloma drugs?
    I suggest that you ring her consultant, tell him you wonder if you…[Read more]

    Hi Eve
    When Peter was on velcade, his first few infusions were long days waiting mostly for the pharmacy to produce the product.
    But as time wore on it got quicker and quicker, we found making an afternoon appointment meant that he did not have to spend a whole day there.
    As time wore he he changed the times of his appointment to later in…[Read more]

    Dear Chrissie
    I understand entirely how you feel. 53years is a lifetime, and cannot be forgotten, or pushed to the back of your mind. Peter and i were married for 40years and its the strangest thing not having him here or knowing he is never coming home.
    Some days I am fine and others without rhyme or reason I am down. Almost every day I am…[Read more]

    Peter would be proud of me, I have been going mad with the cordless drill.
    Fixed a curtain pole that kept falling down. ( Never had curtains when I had my man!) Next put up some metal tie backs to hold said curtains back when open.
