You will be in my thoughts and…[Read more]

Hi Ted

My husband Frank was diagnosed sept 2006 and is not on any treatment. When first diagnosed he had Zometa every month for about 6 months. He sees consultant every two months. He has had a few set backs. At moment has severe pain in side. He had something similar before but turned out it was muscular. This time he reckons it's his ribs.…[Read more]

Hi Mary

Well done you are very brave. The more money that can be raised for this blo**y disease the better. My pound also winging its way. Don't be petrified when you do it. You will be fine. Where in Ireland. I live in the North. Good luck

Love Jean xx

Oh Sarah I am so very very sorry to hear your sad news. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I have followed Gordon's and your journey through this horrible disease. You both have been inspirations to me and am sure a lot of your friends on the forum. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My deepest sympathy and…[Read more]

Hi Eve

I am so glad to hear that things for Slim are looking up as I know he has had a rough time. Eve there must be something in the air!!! I came on to post something similar. We have just come back from a cruise with 10 family members. We had a fantastic time. On previous holidays, Frank slept a lot and was not really interested in…[Read more]

Hi John

Hi Eve

So glad to hear that Slim is heading in the right direction. He's had a real rough time. Also good to hear that you had a positive hospital experience. My best to you both. As Tom says "onwards and upwards".
Love Jean. xx

Glad to hear from you Bridget. I hope they get pain under control soon. I do miss your posts.

Hi all

Good on you Gill. I would love to do that. Frank would have a heart attack if I did. He would be the "bolshi" one. He has never suffered fools gladly. Sometimes it can be embarrassing but one thing all our friends know is that he will never talk about you behind your back, if he has anything to say he will tell you. Before Frank…[Read more]

Jo I was wondering the same thing. Hope all is well with you Bridget.

Hi Claire

Min has explained it spot on. My hubby was diagnosed 5 years ago with smouldering myeloma and the only treatment he has received is Zometa. That was right at beginning of Diagnoses. He sees his consultant every 2 months and is monitored very closely. He gets what he calls "power failures" and just goes to sleep. I think we are very…[Read more]

Dai I know exactly what Eve means. I have not quite reached that point and after reading your post, I hope not to. Once again your words have hit home.

Thanks
Love Jea xx

Hi Norman

Bridget, I am so sorry to read of the passing of your beloved FIL. You have a very supportive family who will be fo great support to each other. It is terrible to loose your partner, but your partner of such a long time – I just don't know what to say.

My love and best wishes are with you and your family.

Hi Dai

Oh boy sounds such a lot of work. I wish you the very best. I AM WITH TOM!!

Love Jean

Dai

What a briliant idea!!! I am a carer and unfortunately I am tone deaf – my boys say when I sing I sound like a "scalded cat"

It would be a lot of work but if it got off the ground I would try and help in any way that I could.

Take care
Love Jean xx
