Sarah, I was like you when Frank was diagnosed – how am I going to cope – and what will I do without him. To a certain extent, I think I am still in denial. Frank was diagnosed with SMM in Sept 2006 – no treatment – but I…[Read more]

Hello John
welcome to this site I dont expect anybody really wants to join but now you are here you will find much help and support and you will learn much about the condition more than most clinics will tell you.
Good luck with any future treatment

Hi Laura sorry you and your mum are having to go through this but joining this forum was the right thing to do , there are lots of lovely people who can support and advise you There are quite a few of us who were diagnosed around the same age as your mum and a growing number of people under 50 as well It does take time to get over the shock when…[Read more]

I have had sciatica for the last six weeks( agony )I have had some relief I went to an accupunture clinic it really helped with the pain thanks for trying to help me hope you feel better soon
Love Jo x

Dear Gaye I really feel for you , there is nothing worse. At the moment I take Severodol for breakthrough pain , although morphine based it doesnt knock you out . I also use the heated pads which do help. Hopefully your rt will happen quickly once they have seen your mri results love Bridget x
