Dear Gaye,
That is a most wonderful story, particularly at this Christmas time. Your kindness is a wonderful example of the human spirit that seems to be lacking at times in this crazy world. I salute you.
Love
John

My dear Roz,
I wish to endorse everything that Gill has said. You and Miceal are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love
John

Now you know why us men moan!!

My dear Min,
Of course you are allowed to get angry. Its an emotion, just like fear,sadness, laughter and love. It means you are human. I have got angry too and have regretted each time that I did, so much. I have been caring (as best as I can) for the past four and a half years and, just like my long suffering but beautiful wife, I get my good…[Read more]

Nice one Roz. Thanks.
John

Here's raising a glass (well, to be honest, its a cup of coffee) to Roz!. Keep strong Roz, we are all still with you.
Love
John

Is'nt just great to get some good news. Heartiest congratulations Nettie

Excellent photos Min. You should consider making a Christmas Card from them. T'would make it really personal.
Thanks for sharing,
John

Well David, apologies for not wishing you well. Somehow I didnt realise you were undergoing your most recent procedure. With a positive cheerful personality like yours, I have no doubt you will get through with flying colours. Dont forget, there will be the odd setback (or ambush!) but remember (as Kipling said)"…be thankful you're living, and…[Read more]

My dear Roz,
Your posts have shown us all how good and strong a human being that you are. Your troubles are shared by us all and I wish I could take some of the pain from you. I am not a particularly religious type. I just want to do some good during my time on this Earth, and not offend or hurt anyone else. I can see no harm in you saying a…[Read more]

Thanks for that info Roz. I'll pass on the msg to my friends.

Gosh Lynn, what can I say?. As a fellow Carer I know that there can be times when everything seems to be pointless. However, just do your best for John, because he needs to know that you are there for him. I am pretty hopeless at saying the right thing, but I am sure that there will be many more replies to your posting,and they will be a lot more…[Read more]

Hello Gill,
I'm a bit uncertain about the term "Consolidation Trial", but my wife has had three cycles of Valcade since October and, despite some side-effects, seems to be managing so far. Perhaps this "Consolidation" tning is a different type of treatment?.
Best of luck, whatever your decision.
John

Hi Min,
Thats good news about the breathlessness. Since Cecila has been off Vecade (for 2 weeks now) she too has recovered from that problem. I'm sure that after a while, Peter will develop a sleepng pattern, although it may not be similar to yours – ie again like Cecilia, he may be awake all night but sleeps during the day.In time, things will…[Read more]

Flippin' brilliant!. Welcome to the club.:-D

Brilliant. LOL:-D

[b]This one is for you Jean.[/b]
Last week was my birthday
and I didn't feel very well
waking up on that morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast
hoping my wife would be pleasant
and say, "Happy Birthday!", and
possibly have a small present for me

As it turned out,
she barely said good morning,
let alone "Happy Birthday."…[Read more]
