    Hello Michelle,I retired at 63yrs, then went back part time for a further two years.I am now 69yrs and have always enjoyed my retirement, even though i was diagnosed four years ago. I just live my life to the full.I stared my training back in 1972 and stayed in the hospital setting for six years, then decided on a change, i had two options at the time, one was a place to do a midwifery course and another as a district nurse, i chose the district nursing, which i cont until retirement,It was a very varied busy career and i would not have chosen anything else.I loved my job and got great satisfaction from it, unfortunately changes are once again being implimented, and more of my colleagues have just retired,their were 52 quick retirement before the end of Jan, due to goverment changes, so i glad i went when i did oh by the way i worked in the city of Livepool.love Ann

    HI Michelle
    Thank for your reply, i hoping that my appt may come through this week,although i know orthopaedic are usually slower giving you an appt,so i will just have to be patient,I do think i have been very lucky,having a good haematologist and radiotherapist. It was just unfortunate that i was diagnosed just after had retired from nursing, but thats life,I had only ever come accross one patient with myeloma and that was in the later stages of the disease,Hope your mum is responding to treatment send her my reguards.I am now looking into joining a support group in my area. I will keep in touch now i have found this site.Thank once again ANN
