It looks as though they dont just strengthen the bones, but fight the cancer cells as well.

The results from the Myeloma IX trial were published in todays Lancet

Just to let you know, my Dad was in much the same situation as your MuM,though he was 74 when his PP levels went from 6 to 24.

he didnt find the biopsy that painful. he was put on MPT, and didnt have any major side effects. his PP levels became undetectable after 4 months, so he was taken off the MPT. he just gets his blood…[Read more]

I have not been able to post on the old site for a few months now, so hope you come over to the new site.

From what I can see, the m proteins (monoclonal)are the same as the p proteins (para-proteins).

There are different ways of measuring Complete Response. I posted a similar question on the myeloma beacon…[Read more]

A small window opens up saying something like 'search for file 'BY' upload to beta.myeloma. (it sould say 'TO')

You now have to find were your picture is on your computer.

Try different 'look ins'. Before this procedure if you had saved your picture to your desk top, you…[Read more]

In fact the old site was bad for that. Sometimes someone would reply to some comment in the middle of a thread. This would send that thread to the top of the board.

But youd have to go through the whole thread checing dates to see what the new comment was.

Things are much clearer on this board. how to get them over here though?

You can stop that from happening by selecting 'Flat' instead of 'Threaded', another advantage to this board set-up

I eep it in 'Flat' mode all the time, you can usually tell from the content whether someone is replying to the original poster, or replying to some other comment.

Once you start a discussion thread it cant be deleted. I can ind of see why that should be the case – for example if other people had already commented on it.I Dont now if its a glitch or designed that way.

I can ind of see why that should be. Sort of.

You can probably guess I have a ey missing from my eayboard!

I can see were it says edit, but it doesnt say delete beside it. Let me try again later, will post again if I cant get it to work

By the way great improvement!
