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.

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 :-/

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.

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.

I was born 25 years too early:-(

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 friends and family I can see the puzzlement in their eyes as well. My mind says that if I take 10% of a contaminated liquid I will get 10% of the contamination! Then if you add in the fact that Myeloma cells work faster than ordinary cells it should mean that you quickly get a lot more Myeloma cells than ordinary. I first thought that they must somehow clean the the stem cells they have taken but that is not the case. However, having said that it does seem to work so there is clearly a lot more to it than my very simple logic, if only for a short time in some people.
Fingers crossed; let's just hope for a good SCT in Nov.
Kindest regards
David

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 cubes and rely on the medication that he said is available if I have mouth problems.
