    Hi Geri

I have had MM for three yearss went into hospital with pnuemonia and renal failure and as it turned out MM what a shock!! my kidneys are still only 20/25% so I chose not to have a Stem cell as it could of killed…[Read more]

  • Hi Dai sorry I havent got round to answering you yet Revlimid , Velcade and Bendamustine failed to make any impact over periods of more than 3 months Each time a new tumour developed the latest is not the most painfulbut seems to have become very large in a short space of time so a bit scary especially the risk of paralysis I will certainly enjoy…[Read more]

  • Hi Dai it is such a nuisance when you cant get the results when you need them! Like you I used to be very responsive to blood tests until after my first relapse , since then I have become a non-secretor This is likely to excludeme from some trials as they will be unable to measure performance It is so frustrating so I know how you feel although…[Read more]

  • Hi Jean I got a bad fit of the giggles reading your post I could just picture it!! The other thing that struck me is how innocent people were in the fifties, so different from now Roll on Sunday evening ! love Bridget x

  • I agree totally Bridget – brilliant. The first episode – wasn't sure – but as it progressed- brought back memories. The mid wife that my mum had was called Madge and she was a huge lady. My mum was in labour and the baby was breech – Madge needed a rest (!!!!) and plonked herself on the bed, the bed collapsed, my poor mum, told us later that she…[Read more]

    Hi Peter and Welcome,
    I too came off CDT 2 weeks ago and initially felt great, although I had an extra weeks' additional antibiotics to go due to an infection in a healing broken leg between cycle 3 and 4. However I am now feeling much slower,things are becoming a bit of an effort,I'm having difficulty sleeping (I found that I got a decent nights…[Read more]

  • Hi everyone I have been watching Call the Midwife on BBC1, Sunday evenings and its brilliant mainly because it brought back so many childhood memories. I am amazed how much the way we live has changed in such a relatively short time , its set in 1957. I bought the books which are memoirs written by Jennifer Worth who was a nurse for over 20 years…[Read more]

    Thankyou John, David and Min how good it is to have friends who care I am as calm as can be really Had to tell the kids in a very matter of fact way so that they dont panic which helps me get a grip As you say Min tomorrow is another day and there is no choice but to get on with it! Mind you there might be a bit of whinging after 4 days of the…[Read more]
