Public pm to Eve.

I tried to pm you but I cannot send it (after me saying you couldn't pm if not signed in !)

I have just realised that when I first posted on this I saw Bridget's reply and thanked her. It looks as though I completly ignored your reply but it has not long appeared on my screen after this lots of people posted (thank you…[Read more]

Thank you all for your kind words. It was right to go out for the evening. It doesn't change the news but with Stephen's nagging and a dollop of my own common sense I realise that Stephen is right when he says if I dwell too much on the prognosis neither of us will get any enjoyment out of whatever time we have.

Thanks for all your support it…[Read more]

I did not even see the original post until today. We have had computer problems or maybe I am cracking up. It was great to read your post Carol let's hope more and more mm people manage thje same

Dear Ellen

I have decided to bite the bullet and be the first to voice an opinion on this.

It is my husband that has mm He was diagnosed at the age of 53 in October/November 2008.

I hope that there is a cure found for mm tomorrow and that Stephen and I will both live to a ripe old age and then die at the same time and turn into…[Read more]

I am so pleased you are doing well David. Hopefully you won't have to Vasbyte for the next 3 months:)

Dai You are a brilliant wordsmith.

I love crosswords but can only finish the "easy" versions and as for anagrams??????. I would probably have more luck reading Russion (and before you ask I don't know one word of Russion)

Love from Gill

Dearest Min,

I am so pleased to hear from you.

Like Bridget I do not know how your post got missed, but I suspect it wandered into the ether for a while before it turned up here.

I (as one very selfish human being) desperately want you to continue posting, but that has to be your choice and whatever your choice you know we would all…[Read more]

Hi Ted

I am glad that everything seems to be going well for you. Long may it continue. It's great that you are keeping busy. I don't know what part of the world you are in but we have had a very warm day in Orpington Kent.
I think it is Mother Nature's way of saying sorry for the aweful summer she dished us out:-)

All the best Gill

Dearest Bridget

Thank you so much for your post. You know the phrase and you used a little bit of it "It's not over til the fat lady sings". Well the lady tonight who sang opera was not fat. She was youngish, pretty and of course I hated her on sight:)

The only complaint both of us had (obviously only to each other) was that the sound…[Read more]

Welcome from me too Peter. Although like everyone I am sorry to see you on this site, but your story does give a great deal of hope. If my sums add up you have had this horrid mm for 7 years and you are still, not just amongst the living but among the get up and carry on brigade.

Long may it continue for you

Hello Peter

Just wanted to say Welcome to you although I´m sorry we are all meeting like this.
You and you super wife sound to have worked out how to cope with this horrid illness really well and your good lady obviously takes very good care of you. What would we do without our lovely helpers? – be pretty miserable I think.

Best wishes

Dear Jet

Like every one else I am pleased that you have good news and hope your remission lasts a long time.

Like Dai I too have gained enormous support from others on here and, hopefully, will continue to do so.

I agree that mm is a hard and sometimes very depressing illness and some of us do need an outstretchced hand to help us.

Hello Linda

Hi Jet

Good for you – fantastic news!!!
Now all you have to do is get a little stronger day by day and not be too hard on yourself if you are a bit wobbly for a while.
So pleased for you.

Hi David
I like that – Vasbyte is so much quicker to say and repeat than "grit your teeth"

No, your right we´re not going to live forever but for a heck of a site longer than this myeloma intends arn´t we?!!!!

Hi Amelie

Luckily my doctor is very kind and sympathetic – it´s just that after my being so poorly I think my itchy back comes rather low down in the order of things to worry about so I´m trying not to worry about it.
Hope things go well.
