Hi guys,

I really wanted to watch this, but couldn't bring myself to as programmes like that upset me much more since Sam's diagnosis, he sounds like an inspirational young man though.

Hi Jet,

Thanks for your kind reply, and I am glad to hear that you found my post uplifting.

I didn't actually speak to you on the day but I did see you at the Myeloma UK Infoday (I recognised you from your pic on here and also your name badge), I hope you found it as interesting as I did xx

Thinking of you and Peter, Min, and I really hope they come up with something suitable soon.

Liz, glad to hear that my post has given you a boost,…[Read more]

Thank you guys for your good wishes!

We leave for Edinburgh airport at about 1am, I am used to going to bed about 10pm most nights (boy do I love my bed!) so feeling tired already!

Sam on the other hand is downstairs fit as a fiddle watching Match Of The Day!

Very excited for our little trip as it is the first one that sam has been…[Read more]

Hi David,

So pleased to hear that your results so far are very good, and disappointed for you that you are only on cloud 8 amd cloud 9 🙂

Sam will be 16 weeks post transplant on wednesday and time has flown, his Myeloma wasnt the paraprotein type (if you know what I mean!) but he was told by his consultant last time that he was in a virtual…[Read more]

I love this poem, I found it online shortly after Sam was diagnosed xx

Thinking of you xx

Pleased to hear the good news Shirley, I hope you continue to make a good recovery!

Hi Roz,

Words fail me I am afraid, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through this, if it is any consolation I think you are so so strong and brave, an inspiration, and you certainly won't be upsetting anyone with your post, we all just feel so very upset for you, Micheal and your family.

Micheal will be so proud…[Read more]

Hi there,

Wanted to reply to this post as saw as I read it as it struck a chord with me but have only just gotten round to it!

When Sam was first diagnosed we were treading on eggshells and it just wasn't normal for us and it really didn't feel right, in fact I think it made things worse. Until his mum, who nursed her husband through Myeloma…[Read more]

Hi David,

So glad that you are home and doing well, aside from catching my cold and having to stay in with a temperature Sam is nearly 6 weeks post transplant now and doing well.

Take care xx

Thinking of you both and your children xxx

Good morning David,

Hope you all still a happy 10 on the happiness scale 🙂

Sorry I haven't posted to wish you luck before now, been a busy few days with Sam coming home so haven't been on.

Best of luck and hopefully before you know it you will be recovering at home as Sam now is (thank god!).

Will be following your daily blog with…[Read more]

Hi guys,

Yes Sarah I think our husbands are roughly at the same stage, how is yours doing?

Pleased to report that Sam came home on Wednesday, 16 days after being admitted, and is doing well, he is still pretty exhausted but apart from that he is making a good recovery.

The day before discharge his White Blood Cell count was above 2.5 and…[Read more]

Hi Judy,

How's things?

My husband Sam was discharged from Fletcher Ward on wednesday after his SCT. He is doing well.

The staff are very nice on the ward and looked after Sam well.

Take care and keep us updated.
