  • Hi Dai
    I can understand you being angry,

    You know you have to keep your eyes wide open,not giving Zometa early is an example.

    Why wait?? Ring up speak to someone about the injections,this gives them time to have a talk,before they see you again.Eve

    Hi Richard

    Thanks Mavis and Babs

    I have seen what they offer at Cancer Club plus Hospic,I have all ways thought it was for the patient not carer.

    Hi Dai

    The way they work it you begin with Zometer once a month,but it becomes less effect as time progresses,by the time you haveSCT or remission you attend hospital every 2 months so they fit Zometer in with your hospital regime Eve

    I think the person who told you that was talking about all cancers,
    For example myeloma if caught early there is less damage to bones nothing to do with age,but a younger person is fitter and healthy than a 70. Year old.
