Dear Gill

I am so sorry to read of the horrible time you and Stephen are going through. My heart goes out to you both. The only thing I know about Dex is what I read about it on here. As Eve and Bridget say is there nothing else he can take? I have been following your journey and am so sorry that you find yourselves here. My love thoughts…[Read more]

Hi Scott

Frank is also like you – if he needs to know anything his consultant will tell him. That is great. I only look at myeloma uk, myeloma beacon and ASH.

best wishes

Although I just met the counsellor, there was nothing between us. I got the impression that she would rather be elsewhere. I never went back.…[Read more]

Hope you both and your families have the best of new years
