Hi Amanda

I live in Doncaster, so just being nosey wondered where about you lived?
Michael was under Doncaster at first but as time went on he went to Sheffield. No disrespect to your mums specialist but we got more help and understanding at Sheffield, so we stayed there.

I hope you get all the help and support you need so you don't move…[Read more]

Hi Amanda

Welcome to the crazy gang…Well its the gang who stop the carers going crazy any way. I think it is good that your mum has been diagnosed before any treatment has started. That way the medical team will be keeping an eye on all developments. My husband was ill for over a year, he then got so serious that a ambulance was sent to rush…[Read more]

Thanks John

Coming on here brings me to Michael. I try and answer for him, with the things he dealt with.

Cheers
Roz

Hi Sandra

My husband got told there were not used very often now. All his family wanted to be tested for donating but not one of them were tested. He died in December. We got told it was stem cell donattion now a days, then all the medications. After that none had a clue what to do for Michael. His body just gave up.

Roz

Thanx all

Finally been told I'm getting the money this week, At last!! Bank has made a fortune out of Michaels accounts.
Having never lost someone before other than my grandma, this grieving process is quite hard.
Sorry your down just now Shirley. Just blame it on medication. I use to say to Michael its not you its your pills…[Read more]

Hi Keith

Hang on in there mate. Come on you can do it. Michael stopped eating when he was on it so I'm glad you haven't.

Please don't give in.

I wish I could do something to help you, having seen things before. Just Drink, Drink, Drink.. Eat when you can too

All the best Keith
your mate Roz:-P

Thanks Michelle

Its been a bad day. I can't understand why I keep sobbing my heart out all of a sudden. Everyone says its normal but believe me it doesn't feel normal. I just feel a burden for being here and Michael not. May be that will go, but only time will tell.
I don't wish this on anyone

Hello Nigel

Hope you don't mind me telling you this, I just feel like I need to for some reason.

My husband got myeloma roughly around 3 yrs ago, he died xmas eve.Don't get put off when you here that. He suffered alot of side effects later in time.
He was a healthy, fit man who worked, then all of a sudden became so ill. He was ill for a…[Read more]

Thanks Tom

You always cheer me wen I'm down.

I'll send some photos if able.
Its going to be a long wk trying to manage. I'm living on sarnies, toast, nuts, sunbites, and crumpets.

Thanks for smile

Hi Michelle

Nice to hear from you. I'm only just starting to greive for Michael and feel guilty. Its daft but its how I feel. Part of me wants to go to where he is waiting.

Getting kitchen started at the moment, so its cold, damp and depressing at the min and everything Michael decorated is slowly disappearing and I don't like how that feels…[Read more]

Hi Bridget

Hope you've managed to put some clothes on, its a bit cold to be in the nuddy!!

No I've not booked any holiday. I cannot imagine ever going again without Michael. I can't ask Rachael to give up her life for me, so I'll cope if possible or go to Michael if thats the only answer.

Keep fighting the myeloma and the drugs
Luv…

Hi Bridget

Sorry your feeling so rubbish!!

It's hard understanding the side-effects of these drugs and also the side effects of Myeloma. When Michael and I talked about things like this happening to Michael, it was never the drugs it was the Myeloma, then when we blamed the Myeloma it was the drugs. I know alot of what your dealing with…[Read more]

Hi

I'd love to go in a air balloon. Or even to a wild life park in Africa.

Butttt Wheelchairs can't get in balloons, and I think a lion will get me don't you.

Roz

Thanks John
I've always been a big softee

Roz

Thanks Lorraine

I'm trying to keep going, I'm having a disabled kitchen fitted over the next few weeks, to enable me to look after myself more. Alot of my caring money will be getting stopped now Michael has died and his pension has come to me. So I'm to try and be more independent.

I've decided a little at a time goes a long long…[Read more]

Hi Gill
Thanks.
I thought about keeping away, but there was such a strong period of help, comfort and information you all gave me through Michael's illness that I knew I couldn't keep away. I've missed you all and if I can help at anytime I'd like to do that

Roz

Yes it is difficult. The thing is you think you have done everything and then you will hear or get a letter from someone else wanting something.
Hopefully I've finished.Its 2.5 months ago and I'm starting to grieve slowly every day. I've had some canvas's made with the pair of us on and he looks so life like I feel like I could hold him. I keep…[Read more]
