Hi Sarah
All in one go is good, it took me 2 days but only for an hour on the second day, and the feeling of 'kicked by a horse' lasted for about 3 weeks afterwards, so enjoy the time now before the sct.

Dear Chris
I'm a few months post transplant now and looking to go back to work in the next few months. I worked up to stem cell collection point (I'm a nurse) since transplant in august I've been slowly recovering, we are all very different in our recovery speeds.

Hi Gill
Such good news you both must be very pleased,Stephen should be a little bit better on the lower dose of Dex,and this might be the time to have those conversations :-)I believe the kidneys can regenerate,so any damage can repair.One day at a time Gill and you will soon be in France again.8-)

Hi Jo

Good to hear from you and have fingers crossed that you get the all clear in April. I am recovering from the dreaded tummy bug and staying away from Frank – don't want him to get it. Frank has his good and bad days. Still not on treatment. Mind you – on the Myeloma Beacon, their is reseach going on in Spain that suggests that patients…[Read more]

Hi Jo

Good to see you have got over your food poisoning,and back to your old self.
I get up to London occasionally ,last time to see Mama Mia with my daughters,unfortunately Slims has no interest in the theatre .

One of my Christmas presents are tickets to see Calender Girls locally in Canterbury in February,So a nice evening out for…[Read more]

Thanks Dai
The penny has dropped.
Slims tried to come off his pain tablets a few times plus since not being on chemo he has forgotten to take his tablets going to bed a few times,specially when he was on ant-biotics ,because he had to take them on an empty stomach and his other tablets with food,he is the one that controls his tablets,as he…[Read more]

Hi Phil
Thanks for the good wishers,cannot book a cruise yet,even though we were hoping for a last minute short cruise from Dover.Slim has not heard from Kings and we have a number of hospital appointments in line,if I could get some dates,we might be able to get away.we do need this break.

I am finding this remission is Like a new ball…[Read more]

Hi Dai
From the sounds of it i would agree with Janet,except Lee Marvin was tone deaf.
Think your self lucky you can sing,at family events after a few drinks,if I made any attempt to head for the stage to sing,it use to be a race to stop me getting to the mike,even singing in the bath is banned:-(
I think singing is an expression of happiness.…[Read more]

Hi Jo
