Hi Helen

Thanks. Still don't believe it!! But consultant said that if got good harvest they would freeze but she said that because of his age (he looks young)!!!) 😉 but she didn't think that there would be another. Anyway hope this one goes well with as little infections and he has a long remission

Cough behaving itself??
Love Jean

Hi Andy
Free coffee!! Well not round here it isn't. V expensive here! And we do want to hear about how you get on, we worry about the ones who go too quiet, it's all about the balance again.
Love Helen

Dear Keith
Really hope you feel better soon and enjoy Christmas, you are so right to emphasise the need to spot things early, it's so easy to let things go ' just a day or 2 ' then have major problems.
Love Helen

Dear Jean and Frank
Great result!:-) if it were not true they would bring him back tomorrow to have another go, and it doesn't sound like you have to go back? looks nearly enough for 3 there. Everyone is sooo different
Love Helen

Hi Sarah Jane
Very good response there, keep it up, I did the same as Andy when I had the cyclophosphamide, Ondansetron regularly worked well for me. I was on Revlimid too and went to 0 in 2 moths, been there ever since!
Love Helen

Dear Tom
Prior to Zometa I always have a couple of paracetamol, I've always had those aches and pains with it, it lasts 4 days for me and is kept at bay with regular doses of said paracetamol and the occasional codeine if I forget. Some people never react to it, some only to the first one and others at every time, just another of those…[Read more]

Thanks Keith for taking the time to write on here when you've been through all the mill and are only just discharged!
Sepsis wasn't something I've heard of, so I've now looked it up. I did know to watch out for a temperature but I didn't really know why – it's important to know about the speed and potential severity of it, plus the fast pulse…[Read more]

Thank you all for your good wishes. I keep asking Frank if he's sure they said 7.2, he said 7.2 or 7.5 can't remember!!! So just to makes sure I'm phoning them tomorrow 😉

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and healthy happy new year
Love Jean xx

Hi Megan

Best wishes to you both

Hiya,
It's Scotty, and her new email address is Scotty@brandmojo.co.uk
Helen

Score!! Great result. Well done those cells.
I also had a bumper harvest in October and I was really knackered for quite a while afterwards, which I'd underestimated… No idea if it's more tiring if you get more but might be the case as the bone marrow has clearly gone into overdrive pumping out stem cells. So take it easy this week 🙂 not…[Read more]

Ooh, watch it Tom, I'm 33 – might be worried about looking 40! ;-D
Only joking… thanks loads for all your cheery posts. I don't write often but I've read lots of them.
Onwards and Upwards into 2013 and beyond! 😉
Helen

Well done Phil and his veins! I hope the side effects are all in check after the Melphalan. What a shame about the room… hopefully his room-mates are good company and not snorers!! It's funny how each hospital system is different like you say, but do feel entitled to make sure he'll be shuffled back into a private room when his immune system is…[Read more]

Happy Anniversary from one Helen to another! Great name by the way 🙂

Thanks loads for posting, it does really help as a newbie on here to hear good news. Hooray for another milestone! And I don't know how you've managed to put up with the whooping cough for so long, you must be a real trooper. I've been at home for a week with a cold and…[Read more]

Dear Jean
You don't look a day over 45 yourself, and I'd have just flaunted a toy boy if I had one, or pretended !! Hmm now I come to think of it I married a younger man any way…….. I enjoyed the Bond movie very much, better than the last one.
Love Helen

Thanks Helen and boy do I wish I looked 45. I can but dream. One of our sons Robert took me to the cinema tonight to see the new bond movie really enjoyed it can't remember the last time I was at movies what I did enjoy as well was the looks I was getting being with "a toy boy" 😉

Tomorrow is D day bye will be so relieved for the pain to go.…[Read more]
