Hi Martin
Know one can answer your question,!!! it would not matter if your dad was young or old,the fact is how much fight has he in him,I would agree with Min,we do not give enough credit to older people.Do not write them off!!!!

Jo is a fine example of having Myeloma,with kidney damage,and she seems to have a good quality of life.

Hi Gill
Cannot agree more,at times i do not know how i would have managed our hospital parking,is so so so bad,plenty of spaces for staff,then patients,very little for disabled!!!

Love Eve

Hi Jet
I wish you all the luck in the world,it is good to see someone doing so well,
as you know from post some people struggle, when you are in this position it is not very nice!!!!!.
There is an old saying (who wants to live till there 90,the person who is 89) so I do not think it is different what ever your age,I think you are very lucky!!!
Eve

Hi Gill
So glad your out of hospital,do not worry about the emotional side .
Just take things slowly and try to do a little bit more each day,if you feel tired give into it your body knows best in this case,you will get on your feet again,just takes sometime.:-)
Make sure your wonderful sister takes a break,she will find it takes a lot out of…[Read more]

HI Sarah
Missed the post on Yorkshire did not show on emails either!!!!
Well at least Gordon tried it is very hard for them to admit they can no longer do things,i think that is why we have these battles with them,but it does show they are fighting this b—d Myeloma .

Hi Gillian
Good to see your getting there,take any equipment they offer you,as you will need most things for a short while,and you can send them back,when you do not need them.
Slim did 22 days in hospital and was so so so glad to come home,progress was slow but little by little he is much better,and it does take it,s toll on the carer,it…[Read more]

Hi Min
I am the same,if i do not eat Slim will not eat,hence the weight gain.
Three dogs seems like a good idea,eating waste and all that walking!!!!

Previously to this illness,i shopped once a week,now its every day,it is something that Slims taken over,spending more money and wasting a lot of time,but he enjoys something he has control…[Read more]

Hi Eliz

it took us both by surprise.eve

Hi Jo
Thanks for asking after Slim.
Bloods,kappa light chains all going in right direction,on 6 cycle of ctd.
So why am I not running round in circles cheering!!!!do not understand it myself,considering the position we were in a few months back.Slims slowly getting stronger.
Appointment end of July with consultant,bone marrow test will be…[Read more]

Hi Everybody

Slims lost so much weight with being so ill,it is very hard to feed him up,I buy all this lovely food,the fridge is so full with tasty morsels and he eats a bit and says (I have gone off this),I think to myself I cannot waste this and eat it,tried giving it to the…[Read more]
