Dear Julie
May I add my condolences to you and your dad.
Thank you for letting us know as so many people just go off site and we never know what has happened to them.
So glad you mum had the passing she wanted in her own home with her family with her,it must be a comfort to you both that your mum passed peacefully.
Kind Regards Eve

Hope it works and you can keep your…[Read more]

Hi Everyone
Once more in to the breach,and hoping to clarify and expand this discussion.

The hospital i go to has a specialised haematology dept that is taking part in Myeloma Trials which Slim is on.
When on trials you have to follow the pathway,but you can come off trials any time,and you can be removed of trials if they think you are no…[Read more]

My beautiful white carpet did not enjoy Slim being sick on it,have used bleach but still looks iffy,helped make my mind up,so hall and lounge will be replaced with laminated looking like oak.
Could do without this,but when you are stuck in…[Read more]

Hi Everyone
I will not bore you with general details except to say,husband started on ctd,now on velcade and looks if he will not be offered sct.

My point on this,is we were told he had Myeloma told about Myeloma trials and felt we had no options,asked if we had any questions,how can you ask questions if you do not know what to…[Read more]

Hi Everybody
Zometa is known to be very effective on bone damage,usually administered once a month to strengthen bone with Adcal-D3 once a day.This has worked wonders on Slim,who could not even lift a carry bag with one item in.
Now he is on Velcade he has Zometa every three weeks,but Myeloma is 80% in marrow,
I can only say doing research on…[Read more]

Ho Dai I am so pleased for you,I hope tonight you are sitting there with a big grin on your face,must feel like winning the lottery.
Only this is far more important,and more worth while.
May you enjoy the freedom this gives you.Love Eve

Hi Debs
I do feel for you,they treat you like you are thick as two short planks,and wonder why patients loose there respect for doctors.

Same doctor couple of hours later could not have…[Read more]
