    Hi Min I dont know how I managed to miss this post till now It makes my heart ache to hear you describe your pain and not be able to give you any comfort You and Peter were robbed of the time when you could reap the benefits of years of hard work and raising a family and it just doesnt seem fair. I agree we dont acknowledge the effects of death on those left behind , we have become a society where institutions take over rather than familiesMy mother talks of people being brought home before the funeral so that everyone could openly grieve and I am sure this must have helped As you say death is a certainty for us all , with or without mm. I hope you can get your anaemia sorted soon so that physically you will feel stronger . I imagine you are already at your daughters and I am sure the company of your granchildren will help a lot , small children arent frightened of speaking about someone who has gone are they, my son said he could smell grandads pipe for months after my dad died Hang in there Min we are here when you need us and I think of you often lots of love Bridget x

    Dear Gill no wonder you are devastated with news like that!! But remember Gill that is just one mans opinion and Stephen can prove him wrong!!( you and Stephen together should I say) I think Stephen had the right idea about going out and enjoying yourselves and I hope it took your mind off gloomy things for a while Good news about the Revlimid and who knows how well that will work for Stephen ! Try not to dwell on that timescale Gill enjoy each day together , even if its having a good row!! If there is one thing I have learnt over the last five years it is never to accept that it is over , cos its not till I say so !! Hang in there Gill love to you both and we are all here for you Bridget x

    Hi Susannah I do hope the lower dose is better for Michael , all fingers and toes crossed ! I wasnt eligible for a Bendamustine trial as I am a non-secretor and the only way to monitor my mm now is mri and bone marrow biopsies The hospital does have a system though where if all the team agree then treatment can go ahead At the moment I am waiting to hear they have all signed off on it. I am amzed that Michael cannot have a PICC line , they make life so much easier and more pleasant , I wish resources like that were standardised throughout all hospitals Perhaps we should start a campaign? I am with Michael on hating Dex too but these last few weeks I realised it does have its good points too , when the pain was unbearable Dex really helped to calm it down for a few days at a time! Anyway all we can do is keep on going with the help of our lovely friends Onwards and Upwards!! love Bridget x

    Hi Gina what wonderful news! It may have been a bit of a mixed bag but its a very good start to get those numbers down!!Hopefully mum will feel better soon , I agree with Dai the drugs we take are often what make us feel lousy but as your mums system gets used to them it should get better. I hope you can all relax a bit now and go and have some fun , you deserve it lots of love Bridget x

    My Dear Friend Min after Dais lovely message to you there is very little to add. Please know that although Peter was the mmer you were and are the person who made so many friends on here.It feels wrong to pressure you to stay , if I were in your shoes I am not sure what I would want,but Min you would be missed by so many people! I can only imagine how lost you must feel at the moment , neither family or friends can fill the gap Peter laft in your life, but we are all here for you My biggest regret is I live down south if only I were nearer and could call in for a cuppa and chat to put the world to rights but I am on here for you Min Min as one of your many on-line friends I really hope you stay in touch but at the end of the day you must do what is right for you Lots and lots of love Bridget x
