    Hello Folks
    Many of you have been asking for the contents of the old forum to be resurrected as there is a great deal of useful information contained within. I've finally managed to get hold of everything and put together a website to hold it all. We have not been able to integrate this data into the new forum as the systems behind the two…[Read more]

    Excellent news Dai. We made some changes to the website layout on Friday, renaming some of the sections. I suspect this may have been the culprit.

    Regards

    Hi Folks
    Can you let me know where you are trying to open the forum from? Is this from a bookmark you have made in your web browser or from another page on the site? I'm having trouble re-creating the error.

    Regards
    Stuart.

  • Hi folks

    After a little bit of digging, we have discovered the reason for not being able to reply to certain posts and we will get it fixed asap.

    It's actually double quotes in the subject line that causes the problem. I have removed them from this post so replying shouldn't be a problem any more.

    Regards
    Andy

    Hi All
    First of all apologies for interrupting the discussion, secondly apologies for the gremlin that stopped you all from replying to Paul's post. It was caused by the double quotes in the title. I have merged these two threads together and reported the error to our development team.

    I have been so touched by all your wonderful messages. What can I say? My control freakery has now gone out of the window along with the bra which is now too painful to wear – not a pretty sight. Showering is now hilarious each morning with what seems like half the nursing staff watching for the latest river to be created! It is certainly not…[Read more]

    Hello everybody

    It is ages since I last wrote and I haven't been near nor by the website since March. I have just accessed it and read some of the postings particularly those from Tina and Sarah. I am so sorry to learn of your losses and for all of you going through difficult treatment. Hang on in there – I know what a B…r it is.

  • Dear Dai – such beautiful words on a beautiful but windy day. What has struck me is that 3 deaths have come after such a long time but sadly it is inevitable with such a vicious disease.To all of us battling with myeloma well done for the courage and fortitude you have all shown in however you have faced it. To all carers and families supporting…[Read more]

    Hello all you lovely people. I wish I could spend more time on here but my energy levels just won't let me. I have been reading some of your postings with various good ones and not so good.

    My latest is that the Pomalidomide is keeping the myeloma steady but no world breaking figures. It sounds like lots of you are in pain with various ways…[Read more]

  • Gaye replied to the topic Thankyou from Tina in the forum General 14 years, 1 month ago

    Dear Tina – Thank so much for your reply. Yes you are right. The last few weeks have been awful regarding back pain and I am still awaiting whether or not a kyphoplasty is still on the cards. However, it is the pomalidomide that will decide my outcome and with the polidomide and pain it is all out of my control.

    You have been such a good…[Read more]

  • Dear Tina – I read with such sorrow your posting on the loss of Patrick. I hadn't heard from you for a while and had a feeling that maybe all was not well. And so it wasn't. The other patient at Barts is struggling with it as am I. You have been a wonderful carer and wife to Patrick and you must be feeling wretched. I can't imagine how you…[Read more]

    Dear Bridget

    Sorry that I haven't replied for a while and you sound in complete agony. You try to do a bit too much and and it repays you with massive pain. I feel for you very much.I think you have got the point that you need to contact the hospital tomorrow and get some idea where the pain is coming from.

    I still have no answer to my back…[Read more]

    What a wonderful array of kisses to go with the beautiful sunshine today. Thank you all – fantastic.

  • Gaye replied to the topic Good Morning Gaye in the forum General 14 years, 2 months ago

    Good morning Broncho and Dai. It is so kind of you both to write.I'm afraid that the news is not good regarding the pain. We are trying another pain killer to see if this will help.

    The pomalidomide seems to be working so that is reasonably good news. I haven't been able to write and keep up with your news but I hope all is well.

  • Gaye replied to the topic SUBTITLES ANYONE? in the forum Off topic 14 years, 2 months ago

    Bridget – the surgeon at the Royal London who did both my operations was Mr John Yeh and I think it is likely that he will come to the same decision as yours as it is now two years on and more damage has happened since then. Not a great outlook but must keep hopes alive.

    Is it me but even though I cannot understand Swedish or Danish, let alone…[Read more]

  • Gaye replied to the topic SUBTITLES ANYONE? in the forum Off topic 14 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks Bridget – My consultant has sent a copy of my MRI to the Royal London to see if a kyphoplasty is feasible. The consultant there is the specialist in spinal surgery and kyphoplasty in particular so if he says no then that's it.
