Hi Helen and Tom
Well he is holding his own,went down to 61.4 now 62.2 so not to bad.
As you can guess from his name ,he has always been Slim,he looks very healthy at 12st 8lb.But 9st 8Lb gives no room for any extra that might come his way.

My thanks to you both,for your support,it does look if he has turned the corner,had bloods taken…[Read more]

Hi jean
Just a quick reply.
There should be a notice some were that tells you ,you have every right to see results of test,and bloods are test.Next time get 20 pence out of your purse and give it to them and shame them,how dare they not give you a print out!!!!!!
At the moment I know the results by phone but every week or so I ask for a print out,Eve

Hi Eve

Well I lost lots of weight and it stayed off for MONTHS but it came back and has been slowly climbing to above my pre MM weight 🙂 but I am told by my Dr that it would help if I lost a little bit (and here is him sat with a belly as big as mine lol) (((nearly)))

Small plates and steady as Slim goes no rush it will come back Trust me…[Read more]

Hi Stephen

Sounds are Good and the choice is Good but you will need (soon) "Dont stop me now" when your Dash has started he he, then for a time you will want "Silent Night" as you will be sleepy.

Stay bug free and hope its not long before you are out but the day before you could play "Please release me" ha hx

Hi Jean

Well you know about Slims bloods plus kappa light chains!!!,the bloods only give an indication of the cells,If you ask for a copy of the bloods every time you go,its states the results if they are out of the band they should be in it will show you.This way you can keep your own watch on them.

Eg haemoglobin 9.2 g/dl (13 to 18 )…[Read more]

Hi Stephen
Like you style,how about staying alive by the Bee |Gees for you next bit of music.

Hi Sarah

It is a different ball game when its your choice,if chemo is refused then palliative care is next step,then it comes to hospice which has a certain policy concerning care.
IT sounds if Howard has chosen his path.
It must be awful for Gail,I can look at both sides and see merit in both.Eve

Dia LOL still laughing,oops got to go the loo.Eve

Hi All
