Hi Amelie

Frank was diagnosed early. He was being tested for other things when they found out it was MM. they did the BM and had the MRI. at that time I did not know anything about MM so didnt know what questions to ask. The MRI showed a crushed vertebrae but the consultant said that it was an old injury and not related to MM. His kidney…[Read more]

Dear Bridget

You are a very wise woman. I understand what you say and I know you are right. it's just I'm scared that he might hurt himself. We have a massive tree in our garden and all the leaves where on the road. Frank went out to brush and bin them and I was out like a shot to take over from him. It makes a lot of sense what you say but…[Read more]

Hi Amelie

Frank was diagnosed September 2006. I asked when he would start treatment and consultant said not yet and she has being saying that every two months since. She explained about the other tests and how they were stable and that MRI showed no abnormalities. I'm the one who asks the questions as Frank doesn't want to know. I now take a…[Read more]

Hi Amelia

I know it's difficult not to worry but franks protein went up from 21 to 30 (over months) and now down to 28. David is right, the doctors take a lot more into consideration. Frank hasn't had any treatment since he was diagnosed 5 years ago. Thank God.

Try and take it easy

Hi All

Funny Christmas presents – had a good laugh!! On our first Christmas as newly weds, we lived in South Africa. Frank told me I had to wait in as my Christmas present was being delivered. I was so excited – couldn't wait. At last it arrived – it was a deep freezer!! Talk about disappointed. When Frank arrived in he asked if I liked…[Read more]

Hi Eve

Yes really looking forward to having everyone here. After all my moaning we had a beautiful sunny day today – a bit cold but nice to see the sun.

Enjoy your shopping!!!!!!! Will be thinking of Slim and saying a wee prayer for him. Hope all goes well.

Morning Eve

I love Christmas and I have most of my shopping done!! It's not that I am that well organised, it is because we are having 22 for Christmas lunch and then a lot more people that night. The reason is our baby Steven (28)is getting Married on 27 December and God willing all of the family will be together – the first in a long…[Read more]

Roz I am sorry that you are having such a terrible time. Rachael has to see a counsellor because SHE wants to. She can't be forced to go. It takes courage but I had got to the end of tether. At one of our sesions, Declan ( consellor) started a discussion on a certain subject and I kept thinking to myself "Why is he talking about that, it has…[Read more]

Hi Roz

Is Rachael having counselling? At least she knows what the problem is and can get help. My sister had a similar problem when our mum died. She got it sorted.

Don't be scared of going to the counsellor. I think the most important thing is that you like your counsellor. First time I went I didn't like her and they changed me to…[Read more]

Roz I'm so glad that you have at last got an appointment. First appointment feels a bit weird but it does get better. I hope at long last you get sorted.

Keep strong
Love jean xx
