You go for it Eve and have a good time. Try to put MM behind you and enjoy yourself.

Hi Guys, To qualify for the statement "remission" The consultant has to say it i.e. "You are in remission", otherwise the answer has to be no surely.

Rather hijacked Chris's posting here, sorry Chris. If we want to discus this further perhaps we should set up another posting.

Hi Lisa, Sorry to hear about your Dad, 56 is so young for this Cancer.

Since 2009, when I was diagnosed, this subject has raised it's head several times. From the posts "the Consultants" seem to firmly place themselves in the non-hereditary camp. Whilst Patient's raise patterns within their families. It could be that we the Patients are…[Read more]

Hi Chris, My pp went to 1.7 prior to SCT and then hovered around the 2.3 mark for 2 years. I was told at the time, of the SCT, that they expected it to start rising after approximately 18 months. You have hit one of the big problems in trying to obtain insurance "the interpretation of the results" :-S . As they say you only have a partial…[Read more]

Just popped on to wish you and Chris the best of luck. Sorry, I have no experience of your situation. Please keep us posted.

I am useless at ticking boxes which I tend to see as an unnecessary complication. I fill my 7 day boxes up with tablets to be taken every Monday morning, Black medications & Pink pain killers.

I look at the box if the pill is still there I have not taken it – end of story, no question of "did I take it and not tick the box" etc…

It was…[Read more]

Yes you are so right Dai, what would we do without our partners 🙂 And, you hit the button with stiff words and the occasional stiff arm once or twice I found it hard going. We had organised the trip into sections to allow for this and everybody we were visiting was warned I might have to break off the trip but with genital encouragement,…[Read more]

Hi Tom, unfortunately, not as far as I can see 🙁 . I can trace my Marriott family back to 1666 and I come from a long line of peasants, well stocking knitters to be precise from the Ashover Derbyshire area, I am afraid. I did have one uncle who lived in California and one Aunty died in a shot out in a speakeasy bar in Chicago 😎 .…[Read more]

Goodbye Keith and thanks for your company.

Thanks Andy for representing us.

Myeloma UK ran a programme to inform GP's of the symptoms to watch out for, in fact I think they are still doing it. It comprises of a letter and a flow chart to diagnosis Myeloma. If you have not made sure each GP in your local surgery has seen it I urge you to do so. I did all the GP's in the Taunton Area, with a personally address note…[Read more]

Hi Gill and Eve, I for one am not upset by your posts. I read them as I would read my wife's posts in the future if you can understand what I mean. I have said to Mo she must carry on and live a another life and when with luck she kisses my great Grandsons/daughters head I will be there, my spirit will not leave her side. And, I am sure, that…[Read more]

Hi Guys and Gals, I do not know where I lost this post but reading it I have missed a whole lot of questions —:-| Sorry. All seem to have been answered by other more generous souls – thanks.

Hi Jan, I actually use 2 pill boxes. One I keep for pain killers and the other I use for medications.

Kindest regards – vasbyte

David

Yes, you are so right Jan.

I have found the same,it is really a series of little things that are said and on passed on. My wife actually asked what I wanted doing with my rings actually. But there are other silly little (you might say) things. For instance my Granddaughter (9 years of age)went to a great deal of trouble to pick me out a…[Read more]

Hi Ladies, Yes I saw the Palliative Care nurse today and she has now switched me onto Morphine based drugs, but retaining the Paracetamol. I take 40mg every 12 hours which is a lot easier. My backup has changed to zormorth which I place under my tongue when in pain. Hopefully this will hold it all in check until my next assessment on the…[Read more]
