Thanks to all the wonderful people who have sponsored me I have now raised over £500 and still have five days to go!!

After the wonderful coverage in my local paper and lovely lady telephoned me to say she lived just along the coast from me and she also has MM. She has been on Velcade for a while now is preparing for a possible SCT in Aberdeen and wanted to have a chat. We plan to meet in the next couple of weeks which I am looking forward to and I hope she will soon join this forum and get to know everyone.

I will be leaping off the Forth Bridge at around 10am on Sunday ~ offer up a prayer or two (it all helps!!)>:-)

Love Nettie xx

Hi Gill
I love life!

Dear Min
I love life! but it is so important that we all face up to the inevitable.
Please don't feel you have no place on this discussion forum. Your contribution is a vital part of coming to terms with this b*****d disease and I am sure everyone will agree that if we can be of ANY comfort to you in these days of despair then please stay in touch and continue to post. Even if it is in the middle of the night there is sure to be someone on here who understands just what you are going through. Everyone grieves in their own way, some soldier on for months before the full extent of their grief hits them, others suffer deeply from day one but although it seems unthinkable at the moment ~ it will improve. You have suffered a very sudden and overwhelming shock with no time to prepare, your continued contribution to this site will help prepare us all for what is to come to everyone eventually, either from MM or other causes. Hang on in there Min – we need you.
Love Nettie xx

🙂 Huge thanks to all for your support and encouragement! 🙂 just thought you may like to see the excellent article that has been written in my local paper; the reporter sounded genuinely interested and wanted to help make more people aware of MM as he, along with a great many others, had never heard of it. The paper also has a website so I have added the link.

11 days to go and I am over half way to raising my target of £500 – so fingers crossed! 😉

Hi Bridget
I am so pleased to hear that the pain is improving ….. I have been following your progress with the RT and was so upset to hear you have been suffering ~ it really is just not fair, you are such an inspiration to others with your caring and supportive posts. I hope and pray that the RT has done the trick this time and you will be pain free for a very long time to come.
Much love, Nettie xx

Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement and support. I've booked a B & B that overlooks the bridge so I can sit and look at it all night before the event as I am sure I will not sleep a wink!!
I'm not really brave compared to those of you going through ghastly treatments and my hubby is so looking forward to pushing me off the bridge if I hesitate – hope he waits till they have attached the rope!
Love Nettie x

[NettieParticipant]

Dai you are amazing! throughout your treatment you remain cheerful and full of fun.
I'm so pleased to hear your blood results are so good …. hurrah!!
The stickies and sicklies will pass so stay off the rabbit food but hope you remain a happy bunny for a long time to come!
love Nettie x

Glad to see you have not lost your wonderful sense of humour ~ I am sure the 'hairy grandson' will help!! good luck for next week and as always, keep us posted. Love Nettie xx

Hi Bridget
I saw your post on FB so thought I should come back to this site to check up on you!! so, so sorry to hear your news but if anyone has the determination to beat this ~ you have! It is strange how our initial reactions of fear and upset when we are first diagnosed change to anger and frustration when we relapse – last time I came out of the hospital in a cloud of 'blue', cussing and swearing for all I was worth "bl**dy myeloma; I haven't got time for this!" was all I could think of all the way home!!!
keep fighting, you will get through this bout of total inconvenience!
Love & (((((((hugs)))))) ~ Nettie

21. 'You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen. It said, 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice.'

22. A man walked into the doctors, he said, 'I've hurt my arm in several places'
The doctor said, 'Well don't go there anymore'

you guessed it ……. I loved Tommy!!!!!!

16. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

17.. So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me 'Can you give me a lift?'
I said 'Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it..'

18. Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. There are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my Dad, or my older brother Colin, or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

19. Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other 'Your round.' The other one says 'So are you, you fat b*****d!'

20. Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

11. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his head.
Doc says 'I'll give you some cream to put on it.'

12. 'Doc I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home'
'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome. '
'Is it common?'
'It's not unusual.'

13. A man takes his Rotteweiller to the vet. 'My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?'
'Well,' said the vet, 'let's have a look at him'
So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then he checks his teeth. Finally, he says, 'I'm going to have to put him down.' 'What? Because he's cross-eyed?'
'No, because he's really heavy'

14. Guy goes into the doctor's. 'Doc, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my bottom.'
'How's that?'
'Don't you start.'

15. Two elephants walk off a cliff…boom, boom!
