Your quite right to be positive there are lots and lots of new and exciting things coming on line and much more developing.

I had my sct last February 2011 and I won´t say that recovery has been quick I am certainly improving all the time. Today I have b…[Read more]

Hi everyone 🙂

I do hope you will understand if I say a big blanket THANK YOU for the lovely replies I have received. I have tried to find all those who have contacted me apart from Andy (will try today). I don't seem to be having too much luck but have to admit it could be that concentration is not really up to much as I am struggling to…[Read more]

Hi Helen

Having been through exactly the same as you last February I really do sympathise – the treatment really does dry your skin out and the lines look as if they are there to stay. However, I can honestly tell you they will go away but you might have to work at it a bit.

I felt very frail in myself but I did try to eat as well as…[Read more]

Hi Eve
Have been lucky enough to spend the odd few weeks in Spain when well enough so have not been as active on the website as before.
Now I am back home I will keep popping in.
Hope you are keeping well and things are not too bad.

Best wishes

Hi Tony

Thank you for your lovely reply – yes will certainly stay in touch – please let us all know how you are getting along.
If you need any practical advice or just need to talk there are some lovely people with lots of experience on this website. I found at times I had questions that seemed either too ´silly´¨ or plain daft to ask my me…[Read more]

Hi
Just wanted to welcome you to the site although I am so sorry that you have had to find us because of bad news about your nan.
She is so lucky to have you and I get the feeling that once you have had time to absorb some of the shock you are quickly going to find your way around all of the information that is available to us.
I know it is…[Read more]

Hi
Only just catching up with posts but wanted to say a belated welcome.
Hope you are both coping and coming to terms with everything (and there is such a lot isn´t there?).
It has been such a relief to be able to talk to people in the same boat – they are so supportive and sensible that it makes even the most difficult times seem much…[Read more]

Hi Kirsty

Sorry that I am only just catching up on the latest news on the site and so didn´t welcome you earlier. Anyway, hope things are sinking in a bit now and that you are being well looked after.
Keep calm about the transplant (easier said than done I know). As others have said not pleasant but mostly it´s just tiring and you will be v…[Read more]

Hi Jean

I know how worrying this can be but can only hope that they are sorting things out for you about the scan.

I don´t have much else to add but just wanted to know I wish you well and hope things improve soon.

Hi David
Just read your good news and am so pleased for you – phew what a relief! I bet you feel like a new lease of life has begun.

Best wishes

Hi Tony
Just wanted to send a word of welcome although so sorry we have to meet here.
You must feel pretty rattled at present so hope this helps. I was diagnosed many years ago (2005) and after chemo and stem transplant last year I am now doing really really well.
Keep calm, keep your chin up – I was on the myeloma trial too and it does ensure…[Read more]

Hi
Just wanted to welcome you to the site although sad for you and your Dad that you have to be here.
Hope things improve soon.
Thinking of you and hoping for the very best.

Hi Terry

My husband Stephen is the mm person here. I pull his leg constantly about feeling the cold. This South East London builder who wore T shirts all year round and moaned about everyone else wanting the heating on etc. now wears my Snuggie in the evening and cranks up the heating

I don't know why mm ers seem to feel the cold but it…[Read more]

Goodness Dai 10 months makes Stephen's 16 months a lifetime:-)

It is heartbreaking to find that things aren't holding back the mm. I love your positivity Dai a lesson we can all learn from

Stephen has learnt to never ever talk about "when I'm gone" I am not in denial but can cope with "well if I go first" any others out there as silly as…[Read more]
