Hi Shirley

I hope you feel a great deal better very soon. Do let us know how you are getting on.

Love from Gill

Hi Wendy

I do wish I had an answer for you but one thing I would suggest is to go on the USA mm line I have not got a www address but I don't think it will be too hard to find.

When I looked (quite a long time ago) it seemed that they were doing a much bigger range of transplant options with some amazing results. Please don't trawl the…[Read more]

Hi Dai

I was trying to work your anagrams out and then realised that you know my surname already so made anagrams out of Gill Seaward and Gillian Seaward (yes I am a Gillian but I only ever got called that when my Dad was cross with me!)

Although we are married I never took Stephen's name (apart from on legal French documents as it is a…[Read more]

Dear Min
I have also missed your post, cyber space!! Everything you say I agree with so much, Gordon and I at last had time and extra finance to start to enjoy our free time together, to say I am so bitter to know we never will, is an understatment. My cousin proudly told me yesterday that she had 'beaten' me as she had celebrated her ruby…[Read more]

What a good idea min! I find that i am unable to leave the group, how do you abandon cyber friends?
Cars, well in April i changed my little MG Midget which i only used in the summer for a mercedes slk 250 convertable, i can put a child seat in the front no back seats, totally impracticle, but such fun, no room for any luggage or a big food shop!…[Read more]

Public pm to Eve.

I tried to pm you but I cannot send it (after me saying you couldn't pm if not signed in !)

I have just realised that when I first posted on this I saw Bridget's reply and thanked her. It looks as though I completly ignored your reply but it has not long appeared on my screen after this lots of people posted (thank you…[Read more]

Thank you all for your kind words. It was right to go out for the evening. It doesn't change the news but with Stephen's nagging and a dollop of my own common sense I realise that Stephen is right when he says if I dwell too much on the prognosis neither of us will get any enjoyment out of whatever time we have.

Thanks for all your support it…[Read more]

I did not even see the original post until today. We have had computer problems or maybe I am cracking up. It was great to read your post Carol let's hope more and more mm people manage thje same

Dear Ellen

I have decided to bite the bullet and be the first to voice an opinion on this.

It is my husband that has mm He was diagnosed at the age of 53 in October/November 2008.

I hope that there is a cure found for mm tomorrow and that Stephen and I will both live to a ripe old age and then die at the same time and turn into…[Read more]

I am so pleased you are doing well David. Hopefully you won't have to Vasbyte for the next 3 months:)

HI Min

As for cars cannot help you,me personally…[Read more]

Dai You are a brilliant wordsmith.

I love crosswords but can only finish the "easy" versions and as for anagrams??????. I would probably have more luck reading Russion (and before you ask I don't know one word of Russion)

Love from Gill

Dearest Min,

I am so pleased to hear from you.

Like Bridget I do not know how your post got missed, but I suspect it wandered into the ether for a while before it turned up here.

I (as one very selfish human being) desperately want you to continue posting, but that has to be your choice and whatever your choice you know we would all…[Read more]

Hi Ted

I am glad that everything seems to be going well for you. Long may it continue. It's great that you are keeping busy. I don't know what part of the world you are in but we have had a very warm day in Orpington Kent.
I think it is Mother Nature's way of saying sorry for the aweful summer she dished us out:-)

All the best Gill

Dearest Bridget

Thank you so much for your post. You know the phrase and you used a little bit of it "It's not over til the fat lady sings". Well the lady tonight who sang opera was not fat. She was youngish, pretty and of course I hated her on sight:)

The only complaint both of us had (obviously only to each other) was that the sound…[Read more]

Welcome from me too Peter. Although like everyone I am sorry to see you on this site, but your story does give a great deal of hope. If my sums add up you have had this horrid mm for 7 years and you are still, not just amongst the living but among the get up and carry on brigade.

Long may it continue for you

Dear Jet

Like every one else I am pleased that you have good news and hope your remission lasts a long time.

Like Dai I too have gained enormous support from others on here and, hopefully, will continue to do so.

I agree that mm is a hard and sometimes very depressing illness and some of us do need an outstretchced hand to help us.

It…[Read more]
