Thank you all for your great encouragement. Guy is on the Myeloma X1 trial so will have sct (see, I am getting good at this!) in time. He also seems at least resigned to a long hospital stay and is a smidgen more positive – all in the right direction.

I am so busy with our work at the moment that I may not have time to be here for a couple of weeks.
I am holding all your hugs tight.

Dear Everyone who has so kindly replied to me.

This has been a tough day. The news is not very good – Guy's myeloma can be and is being treated but his bone structure is in a bad way. He can move only one arm now and even this is becoming very painful. He will remain in hospital for some time.

I know we (me and the children) must keep all thoughts positive and we try so hard but we can see that Guy is – completely understandably – at an extremely low ebb. I expect he is still trying to fathom how and why this has happened to him. For a practical man being unable to move almost at all is his worst nightmare.

Yes, dark days. I also know that if we can keep him alive mentally this situation can improve.

It feels selfish to tell all my woes and not really respond to all of yours.

So, thank you all and I wish for better days for all of us.

Jean – I knew exactly what you meant – I almost said it myself!

Dai – Thank you. I am only just beginning to understand the Dex jokes! We have some already but I'll ask Guy if it's ok to tell them. Fantastic to know that there are others stepping by our side.

Gill – thank you too for your very kind words. You could be so helpful to me as I'm already finding the caring difficult even in hospital.

How lovely Jean and Min to receive replies so instantly. Thank you. It's wonderful to know that you are there in the wee smalls! Yes Min I think I understand about the "DEX". (The steroids? is that right?) As you both say, it's all very confusing – I looked at some other first posts and understood not a word.

Well, it's time for bed – hmm… Guy and the ironing??? I might dream about this. Help. Much love and many thanks – Ali
