Thanks Rebecca. Still going well although back playing up a bit now. Hey ho. Not stopping me doing anything though, but I’ll have to pass on the thought of paragliding. I bet that was great. Maybe one day for me.

Adrian-how has your treatment gone? I hope it’s doing the job. Has your consultant said how many cycles you may/may not have.  Mine…[Read more]

Another week done and another set of meds – all looking good so far and not too many side effects! I quizzed Dr Allamedine about all the numbers and they just about made sense-trying not to get too obsessed though. Just full of a cold even without going in to work or being in contact with others. I can live with that for now, and following this…[Read more]

Peter – a man after my own heart! I suppose as it’s early days I am still very cautious about various things (alcohol) but still keeping up the positive mental attitude. Mind you I had a beer this afternoon whilst cooking and watching football. A regular Saturday pastime when we don’t go out. It did feel good and right so I’m sure I’ll be doing…[Read more]

Hi Everyone.

Thanks for your replies. It’s really good to hear some positives from both of you.

I met with my consultant today and just want him to crack on but I had to ask him about figures and protein levels to try and get some understanding of it all. Not sure how much it sunk in but I’ll have to be careful that I don’t get fixated on numbers as if they…[Read more]
