😀 Hello again everyone thank you for all your replies. This site is brilliant, it helps people to chat and discuss what they are going through because everyone is going through the same thing caring for someone with Myeloma or some who has Myeloma and yes my mum has got some very Supportive children, but mum has done a lot for her children has shes always worked hard and brought 6 children up and retired at 65 but when diagnosed with Myeloma she has never said she would give up shes a fighter and we will support her every step of the way. we also work and do have fun things. I love doing fundraising as well it makes me feel like i am helping we have done all kinds of fundraising we did a midnight wander and raised funds for a local hospice in june this year.

[b][/b]Hi My mum was diagnosed with Myeloma in June 2009 she was 69 she has had the first cycles of treatment chemotheropy thalidomide tablets they only gave half the dosage because it made her so ill so instead of 6 treatments she had 8 then they stopped the treatment she was left for a while the pharaprotiens came down from 33 to 19 but now they are back up so she is waiting to go back to the hospital on the 3rd of feb so they can see if they are going to do the next course of treatment depending on the other test if they are ok kidney and liver funtions ect it has been a shock to our system we had never heard of myeloma before it is like being on a rollercoaster its every 8 weeks to the hospital keeping everything crossed all the time hoping everything is ok but my mum is an insperation to us all she has carried on she said whats the point of sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself there is other people out there worse off the macmillan nurses phoned her the other week asking if she needed any help she said give it to someone else at the moment has im ok for now i can manage thats how we carry on my dad died 21 years ago of cancer my mum has brought 6 children up always worked and adoppted my nephew who has learning difficulties when he was 1 he is now 24 we just hope they can find some more treatment we take every day has it comes.i have done 2 coffee mornings i raised £150 for the first one and the second one i have just sent a cheque off for £160 we hope we can do other fundraising in the future.:-)
