Thanks for all of your kind words guys! It is a relief to know that it is working.

Pete, good luck for your appointment, 4 years is great! I can only hope that Sam will get 4 years. Sorry to read that you have relapsed though but good on you for remaining positive, I think that it is important to try and be positive.

Much love all,

Hehe Tom made me laugh too.

Hope you had a good evening at your "do".

Thanks Vicki & Colin and Tom, Vicki & Colin fabulous news about the remission!

Sam is currently cleaning the oven, he is bouncing off the walls on the Dex but isn't feeling too bad on the Velcade on the whole. On the plus side I have less housework to do as he is doing it at silly times in the morning like 7am when he can't sleep! He cleaned my…[Read more]

Brilliant news! 😀 >:-) 😉

Thanks Eve and Liz & Kev for your kind replies.

Eve I am glad that Slim has had a good response to Velcade, I hope that Sam does too.

Liz & Kev, great news about Kev's count!

Hi there,

My husband Sam has Myeloma and was diagnosed 2 years ago aged 35.

Hi dad sadly passed away from Myeloma, either 10 or 11 years ago, I can't remember exactly how long ago as we weren't together at the time.

Thanks Lorna I had no idea, it really should mention it in the article.

Thankfully Sam isn't on velcade but it is important for everyone else to know just in case so thanks.

Hey guys!

Thanks for all of your lovely replies, so nice to read about the success stories (so to speak). Sam still gets very anxious in the lead up to his check ups, but I have to remind him to thunk about it logically, if there was a problem they surely would have had him back before his next scheduled appointment.

With regards to the…[Read more]
