Hi All

Now a couple of weeks on since I last posted and my dad has gone downhill rapidly. He is now nil by mouth and had to have an endoscopy.

Apparently the tumour is on his skull and we are awaiting to hear if it has gone to his brain.

He also has a chest infection which is getting worse and he is at high risk of pneumonia.

Thought i would update you guys but not looking good at the moment.

Hi All

Thanks for the positive feedback and advice. Very much appreciated. It is very heart warming to know that people who have this desease can live with it for many years in remission.

The tumour on my dad's neck is quite serious and he can not eat or drink and is on oxygen at the moment. He has started the chemo and is expected to start the Radiotherapy this week.

Hopefully once they get rid of the tumour they can treat the desease without the need for the stem cell transplant at this stage.

On a side note. I am a long distnace runner and will now be looking to raise money for MyelomaUK through my running

Kind Regards

Mark
