    Sarah, I wish gordon and yourself the very best of luck if that is what you want, but, I have the feeling you are the sort of couple that make your own luck, it is called guts. Just keep going!

    Thanks girls, It is nice to know, sort of reassuring, that everything is "normal" so to speak.
    I am planning to take in my laptop, my children bought it for me for my birthday with this occasion in mind. So hopefully I am going to be able to give you the news as it happens!

    Change is hard the older you get the harder it becomes. They will come in the end I hope. This is the Beta (testing site) but it will become the main site and replace the old one. It is far better.

  • Perkymite replied to the topic Welcome! in the forum General 14 years, 1 month ago

    Is it possible to have the "monitor this post" as a blank box as opposed to already completed. It is just my preference no real reason :-/

  • Perkymite replied to the topic Is it me? in the forum General 14 years, 1 month ago

    Actually, on the old site, I found it handy to reply in a different colour if I am replying to a person in the middle of the thread. People tend to look to the bottom of a thread for the latest post.

    I note we seem to have lost the cancel button e.g. you start to post something and then decide not to. You need a Cancel Button to take you back to the forum

    Hi Mari,
    Yes, I watched the same programme. Personally I do not think it will help me but it is so encouraging for my children and grandchildren.
    I believe that one day there will be a cure for all cancer just like other diseases, such as TB and Smallpox.

  • Perkymite replied to the topic Ice cubes in the forum Treatment 14 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Min,
    My impression on this site, and it is only an impression, is that very few reach zero pp count prior to stem cell harvest. For my first harvest I got down to 2.8 and for my second it was 1.8. I am now off Chemo until my sct on 22 Nov.
    To be honest I have never really understood the logic of it all and when I try to explain it to…[Read more]

  • Perkymite replied to the topic Ice cubes in the forum Treatment 14 years, 1 month ago

    I am not a tecky so I do not really know the ins and outs of the old Ice Cube trick. However, I must assume that the ice somehow restricts the flow of blood around the mouth area. If you are restricting the flow of blood then surely the Chemo drugs are also restricted in some way. Do not know is the answer!

    I am going to do without the ice…[Read more]

  • Perkymite started the topic Ice cubes. in the forum Treatment 14 years, 1 month ago

    In the discussion with my consultant about the SCT I mentioned sucking ice cubes to alleviate problems in the mouth and throat. His words were "You are welcome to do that if you wish, however, the object of the exercise is to kill of Myeloma cells and if you restrict that by blocking the Chemo from getting into your mouth area it rather defeats…[Read more]

  • Hi all,
    Well my appointment on Friday went very well, pp still low at 1.9. They have now set my SCT for start date 22nd Nov. (my sons 47th birthday and two days before our 48th wedding anniversary.
