Please please don't feel like that. They are a great bunch here. I was going shopping and just popped in and when I came back you were gone!!

Thanks Dai for your reassurance. They told Frank that if he got an infection he was to go to hospital straight away. I feel sorry for the poor man as I am watching him like a hawk. I'm waiting for him to tell me where to go!!!;-)

Hi Kay
Well done for taking on the challenge of the return to work.
I worry about your continuted pain. Have you asked to see the Pallitative Care Team? I know it sounds drastic when we want to think of ourselves as as normal as we can be, but they will treat us because we do have a life threatening illness. I have found it really helpful…[Read more]

Hi Tom

Dear Tom and others,
I have joined Face Book but am frightened to use it because of security worries. Have you any words of wisdom? Are there ways of using it without exposing yourself to too much risk?? Folk are always asking to be my "friend" and at the moment I just…[Read more]

Belated welcome from me too Tony.
Sorry you have had to join us, but at least you got diagnosed reasonably early which does help.
Glad you've been admitted to the Trial. Do hope it works really well for you. Is it with a view to have a Stem Cell Transplant later? Or maybe they are leaving that because of your age.
I am 67yrs and have…[Read more]

Hi Ted
All bloods except white cells an neurophils were good. (had never heard of neurophils) Both were low but neutrophils were ,8 which I think are not too good. Weird as he is not on any treatment. He has to go back on wednesday for bloods again. He says he is going to Spain but these counts makes it easy to pick up infection. Was told if he…[Read more]
