Jean, you hit the nail on the head.
I suffered with PTSD and the councelling I got from a variety of people was not as good as the advice I got to write it all down. In doing so it is very cathartic purging of the emotions. So as soon as I get home I'm off to buy an exercise book and do it. Wish I had remembered that as I could have made good…[Read more]

Sorry your cold/cough is hanging on in there. Allow me to recommend echinacacold pills, brilliant at putting me right when Peter died and I was low, due to poor diet.
There will other opportunities and I am glad the young man bothered to…[Read more]

Hi
I have been away so please accept my apologies for the delay. Welcome to the site, although so sorry you have had this awful shock.
I have been on the Myeloma trial since last July although I was diagnosed in 2005 and managed without treatment until then.
I have had a range of treatments including Revlimid and the stem cell transplant and…[Read more]

Dear Sarah,
I'm sorry to hear of how you feel as it makes me worry now, as I am in lots of company and doing something different. Every day and I am sure when I get home this is going to change especially with the build up to Xmas.
We went on an all day shopping spree thru the markets and souks today. I kept seeing things I knew peter would…[Read more]

Roz,
Be posative and take whatever help is offered and when you are back in control, your family will not fear coming to see you. They have also suffered a loss and no doubt have some issues of there own to deal with.
Michael will be proud of you, and that's the thought you have to cling to. He is watching and listening and understands how you…[Read more]

Yep, we never know what life is going to throw at us, good job the samples didn't work or I would not be enjoying the most relaxing time I have had in years with the son,who survived the samples from the
PHARMICUTICLES industry don't know if I spelt it right
But LES for next pease

We were told that the vecade is made up specifically for each patient and that the shelf life was only a few hours so once it came up on to the ward there could not. Be any delay.

Well done Bridget,

Hopefully you will be staying awake longer
Now. I have just learned some relaxation techniques…[Read more]

Thanks Tina,
Peter died so suddently and unexpectedly there was no time for any final words as he and I imagined he would be comming home.
He said before he went into hospital that he had no intention of leaving yet but it wasnt to be.
That and having to agree to switch of the life support machine was what has made life so difficult.
I was…[Read more]

Hi Tina
Glad you enjoyed the holiday, and very impressed with the windsurfing, good for you.
Now your back home I expect its just a memory, but was it difficult returning home alone??
That is the bit that bothers me, and just wondered how you coped.
Love
Min
