  • Hello,

    MM is very different for each person so it is hard to say what it will be like for your relative. My husband, Phil, needed a lot of help at the start when he was diagnosed but he had the added complication of operations on both legs to recover from. Since he has recovered from the operations and has been able to stop using the crutches…[Read more]

    Hi Vickie
    Sorry to hear that things are no better. I know it can be difficult with some consultants, they seem to be "the all powerful" but they are human.

  • Wendy I understand where you are coming from, there has been some bad news from our friends. But I agree it is very uplifting for people like me to read stories like yours and Eve's, it makes me feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel and not another blo*dy train coming. Thanks for sharing
    Love Jean x
