Hi Min
The nurses are very good and never seem to stop,I asked about the strike today and the answer was no we cannot strike!!!!!!
I also asked how long they would have to work for there pensions all of them said to 68 years old!!!!!!

Hi Dai
The cost for Slim is topping £3000 as now in 8th month,but if you compare that he was in ITU for 10 days at a cost of £2000 per day its a no brainer.

I am also getting over a cold and have low neutrophils so am not sure if it is something I should report to the hospital, or whether I just suffer…[Read more]

Hi Amelia
I know it's difficult not to worry but franks protein went up from 21 to 30 (over months) and now down to 28. David is right, the doctors take a lot more into consideration. Frank hasn't had any treatment since he was diagnosed 5 years ago. Thank God.
Try and take it easy

Hi Chelle
We all have days like that,because you get desperate for something to work, I must admit to being a pill popper ,mainly to keep my emotions under control,It cannot help your husband to see you so upset,so my advice is go and see your doctor,get some help,because you have to be the strong one at this point in time.

Hi Helen
It does seem worrying at first,but as soon as you mum starts the injections she will improve.
Slim had a mass of blood clots in lungs,no one realised as he did not get out of breath,plus holes from damage with pneumonia.He has been injecting himself for over 6 months now and we expect this to continue for some time.

Eve have you thought of attacking Slims eyebrows when he is asleep ? That would be soooo funny , but a bit cruel I suppose!
