I would definitely write to them and explain to them how disappointed you have been with their attitude etc and let them know that you plan to take it further if they don't do anything about it. Sometimes (and I would hate to say every time) that does the job. Not that you should have to!

Min, they weren't people to be bailed out (partly…[Read more]

Hi Gina

My hubby is in a similar situation. disagosed 4 years ago. Protein goes up and down like a yoyo. Was at the consultant on Thursday and protein down to 26 (was 29 last time) but other bloods are stable so Frank is happy enough. We go back in February.

Hope your mum goes from strength to strenth.

Enjoy Christmas. Have a great…[Read more]

Hi Stuart,
Just a thought but could there be a topic for people who have sort of 'survivor' stories? There was someone on the Under 50 thread on the old site for example, who talked about how he'd had MM for 19 years I think it was…..and that's the sort of thing it's great for us all to see now and again…..esp for people who have just been…[Read more]

Hi Nikki

You are so right. It is difficult at the beginning but life has to go on as normal (as much as possible) I have to say that before this horrible disease we would both huff but not now.

Hi there,

Wanted to reply to this post as saw as I read it as it struck a chord with me but have only just gotten round to it!

When Sam was first diagnosed we were treading on eggshells and it just wasn't normal for us and it really didn't feel right, in fact I think it made things worse. Until his mum, who nursed her husband through Myeloma…[Read more]

Hi David,
