Dearest Roz

It has all been said. I hav also followed your posts and my thoughts and love have been with you Michael and your daughter. You all have been through so much and I so agree with Susan. Talk to Michael about all the fantastic times that you have had as a family and through your life together. I am sure that all that have been…[Read more]

I am really thinking of buying shares in Lemsip and Manuka honey! Have to admit Franks form appears to have improved. Maybe it's because Man United won! Little pleases the innocent. He has had no temp = so that is good. He is sitting with the lemsip and honey – me – a gin and tonic. Don't know if the lempsip is doing him any good…[Read more]

My dear Roz

I really feel for you – you are having such a horrible time. I really don't know what to say to you that would make you feel any better. I hope it is a comfort to you to know that SO many people on the forum or thinking of you both. I hope that you try to take care of yourself as well as caring for Michael. My thoughts and love…[Read more]

Hi Bridget

Rant away. At least here we listen and supportive!.Dog doesn't lisen either. I have a Westie and compltely ignores me.

I hope you cold improves. I had it for a week (just remnants hanging on). Frank has it and even I have to admit it was bad. We are sitting watching the United Arsenal match and Frank has all the cold remedies…[Read more]

Dear Min

It has all been said. Of course (we carers – hate that bl***y word) get angry. Frank and I have been living with this disease for over 4 years. We all handle it differently. I know you have been living with this longer than me. The Myeloma word is not mentioned in our house (unless Frank is feeling unwell) He lives from one…[Read more]

Hi all

Thanks so much for all your kind words. Talk about sods law. Frank stopped anti biotic and runny tummy disappeared. He woke up this morning and said the tooth aches was feeling easier and he thinks the cold is breaking. He still has an awful cough. Wanted to get the doctor out but he said no – you don't get the doctor out for a cold.…[Read more]

Hi Gaye and Bridget

Things are no better. Frank now has the most horrible cough. We get into Southampton tomorrow (can't wait) dropped of at airport at about 10am but flight to Belfast is not to 4,00pm. Just want to get home. I think this has put me off holidaying for good.

Hope have better news when I get him home.
Love Jean xx

Gaye that gave me such a laugh. I just wasn't expecting the last 2 lines. Nice way to start the morning.

Love Jean

Hi David

Just want to say that I am thinking of you and wish you well. I think you are an inspiration to us all. I have followed your posts and I cannot remember reading a post that made me think that your were feeling down.

My very best wishes to you and look forward to reading more!

Love Jean xx

Yes understood. Very good. I have a cold and when I got to the end started to laugh, cough and choke!!! Thanks very much.

Love Jean

Hi Scott and welcome
My husband was diagnosed with Smouldering Myeloma on September 2006. His blood tests have been stable (or within range!!) Thank God he has not started treatment yet. This site has been a God send to me. If you have problems or any queries, someone on the site will be able to help you.

All the best
Jean

And me. Good luck and all the best.
Love Jean

You got the company you wanted!!

Jean

Must be me as well. Read it no problem.

Jean

Thanks Dai for that post. You have no idea how much it helped.

Love to you and your lovely wife
Jean

Great!! Heard something similar but that one was about passing wind!!!! I am terrible – I can never remember the punch line.

Keep them coming
Love Jean

Very good. Can't sleep so made me laugh. Any more?
Love Jean

Hi Roz

I go to see a counsellor (My mistake on my post I said consultant instead of counsellor. Couldn't rant to Frank's consultant – I think she would have me for dinner!!!).

When Frank was first diagnosed, I couldn't cope. I just went to pieces. We have a Cancer drop in center and they put me in touch with a counsellor. I went to see…[Read more]
