Hi Dai

Great news about the numbers. One thing, as I reckon it you have only two more treatments, and then you will be able to get on with your life, in remission, and hopefully be treatment free for a long long time, and hopefully time for side effects to subside.

Hang on in there, let's hope the next two treatments are much less…[Read more]

Hi Ivan

Do hope Velcade works out for you. My husband has PN because of diabetes and he gets severe pains in his toes. Hope you are getting some relief now.

Best wishes.

Hi Aileeen

Like everyone else I welcome you (sadly) to this grand site. You will find the hellp and support you need here.

One thing no one has mentioned yet, but which you might have picked up if you have read earlier posts, is that not everyone starts treatment straight away. Don't be worried if they suggest a "wait and see" stratergy -…[Read more]

Hi Martin

May I add my condolences too. Your Father fought a good fight and I am sure you are glad that he is now free of pain.

Best wishes to you and all the family.

Hi Bridget

What happened here was I answered the door, my cartload of medicines, and then thought I'd lost the message and started again!!!!

I can't even blame it on chemo brain.

Hi Bridget

How much is a girl meant to take? So sorry that RT was so aweful. I was worried it may be. Let's hope and pray next two shots are better adn, like everyone says, work much faster than predicted.

Glad they are working on a taylored next step for you. Hope funding doesn't become a major issue. We could all hold placards if…[Read more]

Hi Ted and everyone

I wanted to see my GP before I go off on holiday next week. Last time I got fobbed off with a telephone appointment and it was my firest time at a new surgery. Anyway, they can't look in your ear over the telephone so I took the dreaded route – on the phone at 8.00 am on dot, dressed and readyin case offered early…[Read more]

Hi Sally

Somehow I seem to have missed this thread over the past few weeks! Welcome from me. Glad your Dad is doing relatively well on the Trial. I do hope thst it eventually pushes him into a long remission.

Care for the vulnerable eldery seems to have gone down hill these last few years. I'm sorry that your Mum isn't getting the care…[Read more]

Dear Bridget

Sorry you still have to wait till tomorrow for the first RT. The fact that you are to have four sessions sounds like they are really taking it seriously and hopefully will knock this terrible pain on the head once and for all.

Much love – hang on in there.

Dear Sarah

I am so sorry to hear of your father's death so soon after Gordon's. I can see that you must be completely numb. The secret to getting through the next difficult couple of weeks will be to take each day at a time and try not to think too far into the future.

Will be praying for you.

Much love.

Yippee indeed Dai!!!

I am so so pleased for you after all the difficulties (they would let me put cr–!) of the last few months. Like everyone else I wish for you a very very long remission and a very well tolerated last two treatments.

Hope you don't disappear from the site as i value your posts.

Here's to music.

Dear Helen

Glad to hear you are on the way up post SCT, even if it is a long haul. Good luck with the hair – I can understand what you are saying about that.

Strangly enough, this morning, at an early MacMillan Coffee Morning, I sat next to someone who had had chemo post breast cancer. She had been given an ice cap to wear while being…[Read more]

Hi Min

Sorry you have so much to sort out. My husband, who used to be in banking, says that unfortunately you will have to get the Account put in your name only. Sorry, I guess it makes it feel so final. Perhaps it might help to think of the new Account, in your name, is one of the gifts Peter left behind for you.

Keep strong. All love.

Mavis

Dear Debs

So frustrated for you about the cancellation. I sometimes wonder if they realise what it does to get a letter like that.

Hope the Tens machine does some good.

Love

Dear Bridget,

So sorry the pain is still so bad. Hang in there, It's nearly Wednesday with high hopes for the RT from us all.

Love and blessings.
