Well My friend Dai, you want a whine/moan or just a plain old complain then you my friend are due to have one, as most of us know its hard to be tip top all the time, and to be fair its hard to be tickety boo when you are on the drugs:-S

Hi Marian

Well its been said before "Vent away" Girl

Now what to say about your problems?

What would I choose if I was 72 to be honest (and i have read this many a time) I would go for the standard treatment, as I feel that it works and I would want a Quality of life whilst going through my treatment (well as best it can be) and its a…[Read more]

Hi Carol

Sorry to hear about your Pain:-( no one should have to suffer the pain.

I see you do Horse riding (they scare me) I hope it isn't that that causes the pain? I know after I do things at home/garden I normally suffer a bit of pain.

I am about 16 Months post stem cell transplant and am in remission.

Good luck on your pain…[Read more]

Hi Min,

I often read posts and don't respond, but I really wanted to write to wish Peter AND you, all the luck in the world on the journey you have ahead of you. This MM is just awful in what it does to Peter, and I hope that the plan they have set up, does what it is supposed to and that you guys get a bit of a break at the end of it.

It…[Read more]

Hi.
I'm at the royal Marsden in Surrey and can't fault it. The only thing I would mention is distance. I travel a 90 minute journey to my hosp and it can be tiring. It's not so bad when you're only going once or twice a month but I come in twice a week now. I'm doing ok on the treatment so drive myself and find it manageable but if my side…[Read more]

Hi Dai

Well a whispered "Onwards and Upwards" and do you know I pressed the key pad real slow and quiet lol when I typed that he he.

Am Pleased you are feeling better albeit with a lack of sleep 🙁
Good Luck with it all.

Regards

Tom "Onwards and Upwards" 😎

Great to hear you're feeling better and on the up! I have to say I agree….I can cope so much better when I know what to expect. I wipe out the week off so that I can just chill out now. And then plan a nice meal out and a few drinks at the end of that week when I finally start to feel better 🙂 Red wine of course….oh and g&t to help with the…[Read more]

Hi Dai,

Sorry meant to reply before but have been a bit caught up.

I'm really sorry you're suffering (even if in a macho way!). I'm on velcade too (with dex and cyclophos) and am currently just starting on cycle 4. I've had to have my dose reduced today as I've started to get slight pains (like shin splints) in my calves and more severe…[Read more]

Hi Angelina and John
