Dear Terry

Welcome. Sorry you've had to join this select fighting band. No wonder you are feeling nervous with so much to contend with. Others will help specifically on SCT side – I haven't had one, but just wanted to say Hi and send my best wishes.

Hi Graham

sory the saga is continuing. All the best with the tests.

And Hi Tom!

Very interested in the symptoms you describe with your rib pain. It is very like something I have (especially the rolled up dish cloth bit!). I haven't mentioned it to my Consultant as it does somewhat come and go in severity. What did they do for yours…[Read more]

Hi everyone
Just to let you know that I have used World First for the last 2 years.They have given me an annual multi trip insurance ,but they do not insure for USA,Canada,and the Caribbean, and have been very reasonable with a declared myeloma,and a broken leg added on in the summer. At present we have put a hold on the policy as I am awaiting…[Read more]

Hi Peter
You do not mention Diana,s age or back ground of MM,and this is important because the symptoms could be connected to her general health,I think when you come off Chemo you think you will feel better,and it comes as a surprise to find you have all these symptoms,you start thinking,are you in remission.

CTD the dreaded DEX also gives…[Read more]

Slim and I talk very openly about his illness,with grandchildren around,so if they have any questions,it can be talked about as a family.

Hi Graham

Well Good with it all I know its an uphill struggle but it has to be done, the xray wont hurt but you will be in a long time so after the Nurse has forced you to rush you can have a nice long lie in.

Good Luck for thos two days and please keep us posted.

Tom "Onwards and Upwards"

Hi Craig

Well I am shocked,sorry you have to get people on board and start ruffling a few feathers,if you cannot get help from macmillan nurses go to local papers specially now as the lords have just thrown out a bill concerning disabled people.

No one gets Myeloma over night,you have to get your doctor on board,to put it bluntly this is out…[Read more]

Hi Min that sounds wonderful I can just picture it! I bet the children loved you joining in and dogs are hilarious in the snow My hairy grandson has been here for 2 weeks and he loves the snow , had me in stitches this morning his face was saying woohoo!! love Bridget x

Hi Craig your post really shocked me !! How the heck can they treat you like that it beggars belief . I strongly recommend getting a Macmillan benefit advisor on board , you need someone who knows the system If there is not Mac advisor try the hospital who usually have a benefits advice dept Dont give up you are entitled to help during the most…[Read more]

Hi all
Well there's a turn up fit the books! Here in N Ireland we always get the rough weather but at the moment the temp outside is in the balmy 7's or 45 in real money. Enjoy the snow. We will probably get it eventually!
