Hi Ange
Just wanted to welcome you although I am so sorry that we all have to meet this way. I was diagnosed in 2005 and after chemotherapy and stem cell transplant I have recuperated quite well and am back doing most of the things I used to. Hope this gives you some encouragement.
This is a great site with such lovely people who are always…[Read more]

Hi David

I have not logged on here much lately as Stephen is so poorly and needing a lot of care.

I am so sorry to hear your news.

What a bitch this life can be.

Love and kind thoughts to you Gillxxx

I know my spelling will not be good but sore mouth = corsodyl tooth paste and mouthwash

2 Stem cell transplants and Stephen got one very small mouth ulcer. Helped by Rinstead pastilles.

The old remedies are sometimest the best.

Good luck and good health to all Gill xx

Stephen has had mm since 2008 he was diagnosed at 53 Recently he had symtptoms of brain cancer and his team looked and looked again (I love the team that work on his behalf)

What they have found are 2 little blighters in the base of his skull. Not good but nott quite as bad as in the brain

Now your mum has been diagnosed she will get the…[Read more]

So pleased that your mum is feeling better.

So lovely to hear that some are doing well

Kind regards Gillxxx

Dear Lynne

Sorry and Thank You

I am so sorry that John has gone but thank you so much for your advice. Stephen is on Dex at the moment and can be horrid. Sometimes I bite and sometimes I walk away.

What is hard is that he has always been a laid back pussy cat and now can be a growly cat.

We all need to treat every day as special. Any…[Read more]

Love the quote Dai thank you

Thanks Jean

You should see the pair of us trying to get out of the flippin jag what with Stephen's mm and me just beng too old for such frippary it is like trying to get up off the floor in public and keep a bit of dignity:-D

Hi Everybody

The oncologist looked again and thought it was in the brain (We had a friend who had lung cancer and it went to her brain It was aweful but quick so Stephen's prognosis looked even worse). They scanned Stephen again MRI, PET anything else that gave a chance of having another look.

All hail the wizard of oz. We went to see him…[Read more]

Your lovely posts have made me cry in the nicest way. Thank you

Stephen is enjoying the olymics and sleeping through most of it 🙂

His specialist phoned this morning (11 am on a Sunday how dedicated is that man) to say he had spoken to the radiotherapathy wizard last night and they think between them they can ease Stephen's pain.

That…[Read more]

I am not here much at the moment and did not know how near the end it was I am so sorry to hear of your loss

Gillxx

I cannot speak highly enough about Kings (Stephen had both his SCTs in there) but what a hassle for Slim to have to keep doing that journey.

We are lucky in that Stephen sees his consultant at a small local hospital near us an there are two chemo nurses there who we speak to. Stephen gets "discussed" with Prof Skye at Kings when the doctors…[Read more]

Hi Mike

I remember that feeling of limbo very well. I think a lot of it was shock in my case and I used to feel sick with worry for a week before every appointment with my specialist – as things settle down though and we got to learn more and more about what was going on we got into the routine and things seems less chaotic.
Please don´t…[Read more]

I am so, so sorry

Hi Beverly
Sorry that I am late in replying but a very big and warm welcome although I wish we could have met in a different way.

I was diagnosed with smouldering myeloma in 2005 and did not require treatment (other than for anemia) until 2010. After chemo and a stem cell transplant I am still getting stronger every week and am now…[Read more]
