I can understand how you are feeling. Frank has not starte d treatment yet. His bloods on Thursday were not too good and he has to go back on Wednesday for more. Eve is a carer (hate that word) for her hubby Slim and she is a mind of information. She has clarified many things for me. Look out for her posts. I hope your partner is soon home with…[Read more]

Thanks Tom. I just want Wednesday over.

Please please don't feel like that. They are a great bunch here. I was going shopping and just popped in and when I came back you were gone!! Please post again with any worries or you need to ask anything. My hubby has smouldering myeloma and I have been a member of the new site and the old one for about – I think 3 years and have tremendous…[Read more]

Thanks Dai for your reassurance. They told Frank that if he got an infection he was to go to hospital straight away. I feel sorry for the poor man as I am watching him like a hawk. I'm waiting for him to tell me where to go!!!;-)

Hi Ted
All bloods except white cells an neurophils were good. (had never heard of neurophils) Both were low but neutrophils were ,8 which I think are not too good. Weird as he is not on any treatment. He has to go back on wednesday for bloods again. He says he is going to Spain but these counts makes it easy to pick up infection. Was told if he…[Read more]

Hi Bridget

Seen some posts on Face Book from you but not too many here. Hope you are doing ok. Going through the posts and came across yours. Here in Norn Ireland (as the locals say) we are renowned for "ulster isms ". My English daughter in law was home with son Robert and granddaughter Maddy at Easter. We hadn't seen Maddy since Christmas…[Read more]

I started counselling shortly after Frank was diagnosed with SMM in Sept 2006. The first one I had there was no connection and I never went back to her after the first visit. Macmillan put me in touch with Robin who was fantastic. It was so good to talk to someone who did not know Frank and was not judgemental. I was with him for about…[Read more]

Thank you all for your informative replies. Frank contacted hospital about antibiotics and was told that if he got an infection – temperature he would have to contact them as the antibiotic would have to be given introveniously. What I really don't understand is that Frank has never had any treatment. He is SMM. he is going to contact the…[Read more]

Hi Eve

I have an iPad and I downloaded Kindle free from the App store. I set up an account with Amazon and get my books within seconds. They are usually cheaper than hard copy.

Jo hope things are good with you.
Best wishes

Hi Ted
Frank has been nearly 6 years SMM. going on Thursday to see consultant on Thursday and I'm dreading it. Feel like "we have got away wiih it for such a long time". Just pray God is good and Frank is still stable. My best wishes to you Ted and a welcome to you Tony you are in the best pace for support

Hi Jo

That's my action plan!! I have 4 sons, 4 grand daughters and now want a wee grand son, but I would like him close at hand. I only have one grand daughter here and she is 14. Would just love a wee baby. We were supposed to be going out today with my sister and family but we have had real heavy showers so I gave the bathroom a good going…[Read more]

Thanks Helen and Bridget. I agree but of course of course I'm biased

Hope you both are doing well

Jo has voiced my thoughts as well about the Forum. Would be lost without it. Hope the pain has eased.
