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 the present, I said " yes it's lovely and for your present I'm getting you a dinner service". It never happened again.

Any other "funny presents"?

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 time.

It feels like Christmas where we live – if it is cold in Belfast – it is bloo*dy freezing here – we live a bit up the hill.

So I am really looking forward to Christmas but I know Christmas has bad memories for some of our cyber friends.

Take care

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 nothing to do with Franks illness" but as the sessions went on – things began to unravel. I don't know if it helps everyone but it was good for me. I really hope that she can get some help, and that they can help you and give you some peace of mind

Christmas is such a spcial time, I pray that you Rachael and Lauren get to spend some time together.

Take care
Love jean xx

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 another who was absolutely brilliant. It was hard at first to be 100% truthful but when I relaxed it was like talking to an old friend who did not judge anything that I said.

Take care Roz

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

Hi Elizabeth

Good to hear from you. Was wondering where you were. You are not boring!!! So sorry to hear about your husband and hope it is not long to he feels better and gets home.

Yes my two new friends have ordered recorders but one now has to learn to use computer. Her son is going to show her what to do. I find it invaluable. Thanks

Love the new photo and the hat!!

Take care
Jean xx
