Hi Jean, I would try to keep Frank, and yourself of course, away from anybody with a cold/cough etc… if you can. Ask friends not to call if they have been in contact with someone who has had any form of infection. Avoiding shaking hands or any physical contact with other people is something else you can do.
The normal range for a healthy…[Read more]

This is all a bit "deep" for me but I did think Eva's comment [i]forgive his mistakes, but not his certainties [/i] was excellent and did made me think.

Thanks Guys and Gals, I would add that I am not complaining in the least.
My Consultant said basically the same thing i.e. "the good news is your body is fighting them" he also added that my general blood measurements were all in the normal range so not to worry and keep taking the Soluble Paracetamol when needed.
It certainly has not…[Read more]

It is now some 15 months since my SCT. I took a daily antibiotic for the first 12 months post SCT and that has now been stopped.
Since stopping I have had two coughs/colds and I noticed somebody mentioned them in a recent post. I feel perfectly fine and I would not say that there is anything unusual about them. I just wondered if they are…[Read more]

I think all forums do go through phases as people come and go. I am a member of about 6 forums, dealing with different things of course, but the Myeloma UK forum is the only one I check into most days and read the posts. I do not always respond it will depend on what I am doing that day.
I think you must also take into account the limited…[Read more]

Hi Gina, Nice of you to remember us – thanks.
When my son died, aged 19, I put loads of pictures up of him all around the house, even in the tiolet. Generally you only take photographs at happy moments and so I had a constant reminder of the "good times".
All the very best, Kindest Regards – vasbyte

Hi Neelie, Unfortunately your story is not a rare one with regard to MM. I had MM 2 years prior to diagnosis and it was only breaking my neck getting out of bed one morning in July 2009 that brought about the diagnosis of MM.

Had my 3 month Consultation today and passed with flying colours.
PP still at 2.3 actually it was 2.4 last time but I will not argue about 0.1:-D I am now 15 months post SCT and feel great, no pain whatever and plenty of energy to do what I have to do.
