Dear Debs

So frustrated for you about the cancellation. I sometimes wonder if they realise what it does to get a letter like that.

Hope the Tens machine does some good.

Hi Nadine

I'm sorry to have to welcome you to this site on behalf of your Mum. I am sorry for all the shock you and your Mum must be suffering from.

As someone a bit nearer your Mum's age, I'm 66yrs, may I put a slightly different perspective on things.

I gather that there are indications from tests that show whether results of SCT…[Read more]

Oh Tina
They've postponed it till next tuesday- I cried when I got the letter! I feel like my toes are broken tonight…worse than they've been in ages. It's partly my fault as I've overdone it today and not had a sleep but it's depressing to know it could have been looked at tomorrow and now I ve got another week to wait.
Enough moaning!! Down…[Read more]

Hi nadine.
Ask away on the question front. I was on the myeloma xi trial and had rcd ( revlimid, cyclo & dex). I plateaud quite early and went onto velcade. I don't regret the Sct yet although if I'm honest there were times in hospital and when I got home when I wished I hadnt done it as life seemed so hard. But now there is a light at the end…[Read more]

Hi Min sorry I cant help about bank accounts but when Jeffs dad died we were amazed at how many phone calls , forms and visits it took just to get his mums life back on track In Olives case she is a very lively 82 but she would have found it too hard As you said about not being able to motivate yourself was exactly how she felt too On a spooky…[Read more]

Hi Nadine,
Welcome to the site although I'm sorry that your mum has MM.
Why are you finding it hard to discuss it with your mum? Because of how you feel, or because of how she is? I think if you can talk about it with her, all the better for both of you….you can support her better if you understand how she feels and also, my personal view is…[Read more]
