Thank you all for your replies, you are a great support.
Been to MAU at the minute, her chest xray is clear and no problems with the ECG. Her temp is 41 so very high and her blood pressure still low. They said there is definitely an infection. She is on a drip and has fluids, paracetamol and antibiotics so hopefully she will start to feel a…[Read more]

I cant imagine how it must be going through such a awful thing. But you are always positive Dai and you make others feel positive with your support.
You are all allowed you downsides to the treatment and you seem to have been through the mill.
You take care of yourself and hopefully you will start feeling like you again very soon

It will be hard for you because 2 weeks is still raw and you will be grieving and asking what if etc. My dad died in 1989 of Stomach cancer and my grandad and uncle of lung cancer. My mum as been asked by her hemotology nurse if she would speak to a someone and fill in a questionnaire and give bloods to see if there is link between different…[Read more]

I am so sorry about your dad Linda, this disease is an awful disease, my mum has it and she is 71.
We have been told that it isnt hereditary but can run in families but to be honest i dont think it has been proven.
I know that they are looking at links with other cancers with blood relatives but again nothing has been proven.
I really am sorry…[Read more]

Steven told my mum that the consultant that put mum on the list was only there for so long, but a new permanent consultant starts on the 20th June, he said he will try to get mum an appointment for that week so hopefully we will be going very soon.
Mum isnt too well at the moment and cant even go into the…[Read more]

Thinking of you today Gaye, hope everything is ok x

Thank you Tom, Hopefully the good news will keep coming, we do dread the dreaded hospital visits every 8 weeks but come away feeling relieved and positive so long may it happen.
You all take care of yourselves and i thank you all again for your advice and support

Thank you to you all for your replies. I think my mum is just worrying a bit because she has always been so fit and active. She thinks she still should be. But you are right everything else is ok so we need to think positive. Thank you again for your advice, i am really grateful.

Welcome to the site,although not a nice place to be. The people on here are brilliant at giving support and advice. My mum has myeloma and has had it since 2009 she is 71. Its good to know there are people that understand and can help when advice is needed.

I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family xx

I just want to say how sorry i am. I am thinking of your family at this sad time x

My mum is on monitoring bloods at the moment, as her other bloods are ok they are not treating her. She goes to hospital every 8 weeks. Her pp is 33.5 at the moment and this has steadily risen from 18. They are not overly worried as the myeloma is not in her bones at the moment, they say her cancer is low scale. We are very positive about this and…[Read more]
