Hi Michelle

Your Mothers strenth has been passed on to you it shows in your post only four weeks after the passing of your good Mum,I admire both your Mum and you for fighting what is a hell of an illness with strenth and dignity, I bet those five years were filled with laughter and joy.

Thank you for posting am sure it will give us all…[Read more]

Hi Sarah and Henry

what a tale I really wonder what will happen to some of us in the NHS systems so much laxness and uncaring attitudes make me shudder poor Henry I wonder if he is doing a bit too much working all thosr hours perhaps thats why he has been so open to infection getting a bit run down I hope he feels much better soon
Love Jo x

Hi Sue and Michael

Am sorry Michael is having a lot of Pain am sure they must have stuff to stop or lessen it all?.

I know its Michael that is ill with the MM but you need to look after yourself also and the tears are ok you have no reason to feel that you have to apologise for it.
Can you get some help in to help even if its an ear to chat…[Read more]

Hi Sue

Just posting to ask how things are with Michael. I do hope and pray that as you approach Christmas there is something to look forward to.

Much love.

Hi Shelly

Thank you for taking the trouble to post at what must be a very sad time for you. I'm so encouraged that your Mum coped so well with all the treatment. How long did she live post diagnosis?

I know your continued contributions to the site will be welcomed.

Very best wishes to you and all your family.

Hi Dai

This C Diff seems to really have got you "on the run"! (Excuse the humour!!) So sorry it keeps coming back. It's this downside of antibiotics that they keep warning us about. We do need another breakthrough like when penecillin was discovered. I wonder if there is research into this?

Glad you are soon to be back driving. I…[Read more]

Hi Sarah

I had six rounds of CDT and this banished the PP completely so for the time being my only treatment is a four weekly infusion of Zometa for bone strengthening. Like your Mum, I have decided not to go down the SCT route and feel very comfortable about it.

You don't even have to get down to zero PP to be able to have a drug free…[Read more]

Hi Sarah and Henry

Well you have both been going through the wars bless, and you do right with shouting, but i do think the NHS is an excellentt thing but leke everything it has to be run correctly at all levels.

And I also must say that Henry is working long hours am sure I cant do those hours and I had my SCT in 2009 :-0 as for me am…[Read more]

Hi Andy

Like the others, I am gutted thst you can't find a donner match. However, I'm glad the drugs are working. The donner transplants don't sound like a walk in the park, so maybe, with your battered bone marrow, going other routes may not be such a bad thing, IF they can find a combination that whacks the blasted MM into touch.

Very…[Read more]

Hi Sarah

So sorry you and Henry are experiencing the down side of the NHS just at the time when you need it to be at its best. I know that feeling of frustration and feeling powerless to change things.

I really admire Henry for keeping on working. I do hope you don't have finacial pressures as well as everything else.

I do hope and pray…[Read more]

Hi Vicki and Colin

Somehow I have missed all your batles witht he SCT thus far. Just wanted to sign on and say that I do hope things get steadily better for you and that a really long remission make it very worth while. I have just been reading of one of nine years.

Lots of love to you both.

Hi Jo

Good to hear news of you! Do hope this next round of treatment gives the old MM a run for its money!! They keep saying that MM is on the verge of becoming a chronic disease let's hope it is for us even if it is a real drag at times!

Much love.

Hi Carol

I do hope the PAD works well for you. From all I've read, I wouldn't worry that you are putting off thughts of having another SCT after…[Read more]
