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 anything going on. This time he was the life and soul of the party and never stopped the whole time. He was up danceing and was the last one to go to bed – we even entered a Mr an Mrs competition and made complete fools of ourselves!! I have not seen him with so much energy. One of our sons who was with us could not believe seeing his dad having such a great time. So, why have I been crying and so apprehensive and feeling scared since we got back? I have it in my head that this was the last time we will be away. It is completely irrational but I cannot shake this awful feeling. We don't go to see the consultant until 10 August and I have convinced myself that we are going to hear bad news.

I will be thinking of you and Slim on Friday and pray our thoughts and feelings are stupid and irrational. If anyone else out there has experienced anything like this, I like Eve would be grateful to hear.

My best wishes an prayers willl be with you both.

Love Jean xx

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".

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 was diagnosed I would run a mile from confrontation but now – as far as Frank is concerned – I would fight a tiger!!! My sister has told me on a few diferent ocassions, that the day Frank was diagnosed "I lost my sister". I am not "bolshi" enough to ask her what she meant. Maybe I am scared of the answer.

Hope all is well with you all.
Love Jean xx

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 lucky as we lead as normal a life as possible. I know it is scary but you are in the right place for help and support. My very best to you both.

Love Jean xx

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

Hi Norman

Over the past few years we have used many insurance co but the last 4 trips we have used Columbus. They have cut our policies by half. The even insured a young friend of ours for america and she has just finished some pioneering treatment for heart complaint. Might as well ring around to see what you get. Number is 0800 953 3660. Email admin@columbusdirect.com. Good luck it is pain in neck but there are deals out there.

Love Jean

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.

Hi Dai

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

Love Jean

[jmsmythParticipant]

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
