Hi Vicky and Colin

A warm welcome to the site 😀

Hi Gail

Reading your post,it could me writing it,only the year would change to January 2011.So you are not alone,you have joined many other people on this journey,because the carer has no choice,and some times is forgotten,because everyone worries about the person who is ill.

I use to worry about my husband,being very confused,plus lots of…[Read more]

Hi Jerry

Your English is just fine, you will get help/advice and comfort on here.

As for your Father's treatment? well with Myeloma all Patient's are not on same treatment, what works for one may not work for another.

Hi Ann

I have been trying to attach a copy of my drug regime so as you could look at it but it wont let me?? but as has been said phone hospital up it should be open 24/7 as they need to dispense Meds all the time 🙂

Good Luck

Hi Andy
Well done on the Bloods M8, and am sure the rev/dex will soon sort it out.

Keep strong and fit

Hi Jerry

Sorry to hear your Father is poorly, I wish him well on his road to recovery.

Where Is your Father getting his treatment ?

Hi Ron And Christine

I am pleased to read Christine continues to improve 😀 and as i am in remission I now only go to see the Dr every four months 😎

This Myeloma is a strange oneas I went through Zometa for 24 months post SCT. But as we all differ in treatmentr/side effects I should not be too surprised.

Keep strong

Hi Eva

When you next talk to Sue give her My Best and a Little hug from us all.

Thank You again Eva

Hi Tina

A warm welcome to Dex and am sure your good spirits will return 🙂 its worth the orf days to get into remission.

Dex is an evil little begger but worth its weight in gold if they could take out the side effects it would be Magic 🙂

Keep with it Tina and in no time you will forget you had to take it 🙂

Love

Hi Bridget

Love and loads of hugs ((hugs))

Hi Deb's

Hugs to you its not easy putting a post like this.

Penny was an inspiration for me with the way she coped with her illness.

I did not know Penny aside from being an "Online Friend" and Like you all I am pleased to have Known Penny for such a short time.

RIP Dear Penny, The Lord has another Angel watching over us.

Hi Pete

Well am sorry you had to start your treatment 🙁 to start with I will say listen to your body? yes it was only a couple of days ago you could run burn the candle at both ends and lift more than the other bloke at work BUT to be honest your treatment will take it out of you (but you will get through it) rest when your body tells you…[Read more]
