    Hey Jo

    I know what you mean about Strangford!! We had a lovely sunny day today but this evening it rained. Robert (from Southampton)arriving tomorrow txt to see if it was hot here!!!!! I can't remember the last time it was hot here, warm yes but hot – no. He must have a short memory. Looking forward to Sunday as we will have all our boys…[Read more]

    That is the best news that I have heard in a long time. (since Shirley's news) I am so very pleased for you both. It's so good that you questioned the ones in the "know", a lot of people would take what the professionals say as "gospel" My very best to you and Stephen and have a BILLIANT weekend.

    Love Jean xx

    😎 😎 Hello Jean
    I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that clinic good for Frank

    Hi Jean

    Hope Frank is right and it is a pulled muscle! But, whatever, I hope you can still stave off treatment.

    One thing I can't quite work out is if chemo helps bone pain anyway as lots of folk on drugs still seem to have lots of pain. Perhaps someone can enlighten us.

    Very best wishes to you both.

    Hi Gill.

    What to say to you and Stephen? No words help and I feel sure it is worse for the care giver.

    Yes, living in the moment is the best each of us can do with this horrible disease. Blessings as you try to do this. I have found the sunshine has helped in some ways, but has also reminded me of what I can't do!

  • Hi all

    I never know under what subject heading to post. Anyway today we went to see consultant. We actually saw the consultant, not a registrar, and she said that she was happy with the bloods. Although the protein had risen from 26 to 28 she was not concerned as it had been 31 at one time. Heamaglobin had improved and said the other bloods…[Read more]

    Min so sorry that you had such a dreadful time. I know what you mean about the comfort zone of the hospital being near by. I know you can't relax – been there – and would much rather be at home.

    You think you have it tough where you are Min, you shoud try living in Northern Ireland – especially where we are. Our weather is terrible – now,…[Read more]
