Hi
I agree with John and Sue
Slim never got it until after he finished Velcade,he had Amitriptyline 5 to help him sleep,then when he was in Kings they gave him 25 and said it was a form of PN,I bought the Palmers cocoa butter Slim very seldom complains of his feet now.
I also get Polytar for his skin and must say since he washers in it,has…[Read more]

Hi Gill
I did not know what a banshee was either,heard the saying!!!!:-)made me laugh

Gill I know I am over the top when it comes to Slims eating,years ago he ate like a horse,but he is down to 61.8 k my daughters are all going on diets to stay below his weight.LOL.
For every ounce he looses I gain,I eat to keep him company,because eating is…[Read more]

Hi Andy

That is why I asked were you are having treatment!!!,At the end of the day how do you feel about your treatment,There are Trials going on in all the major hospitals.
If you put Trials in the search engine on here it will come up with all trials plus were they are,If you ask Dai he will tell you his experience of not having the best of…[Read more]

Hi Andy
I noticed you joined the forum in Feb this year,but started treatment in Oct 2011,I have followed your different treatments,I am just surprised they do not seem to give them much time to work,I say this because Slim started treatment in January 2011 and was still having chemo up to the Christmas2011.
It took a long time to get that stage…[Read more]

Hey Eve and Slim

Hi Vicky

I think it is a man thing,but without meaning too you do as a carer tend to take over most things, It is there body. I suppose it,s just instincts to want to help and make them get better.
So he becomes the stubborn grumpy old man,and I become the nagging,fussing old lady.[it,s a very fine line]
Slim has an ally in Tom,but I think…[Read more]

Hi Vicki and Colin

Hi Gill and Wendy

I think it,s not until you start looking back,that you begin to wonder if you remember it as it was.!!!!
When Slim was in ITU they offer you a dairy that they will right for you,because you cannot remember anything about it,so you loose so many days.

Some nurses think its a good thing,that you have no memory of it.If you…[Read more]
