Hi Richard

Well am sure you will not be wanting to do Lorry driving through your treatment, and your Insurance sounds Top Notch

I also Like you saying "Pick yourself up, dust yourself down, move on."
Am sure that works well.

Good Luck to you Both in the road to remission.

Hi Trish and Peter

Well its going to be hard keeping away from folk I remember having them in my late 30's and I had to go to Dr's and he used to check on them I asked why I could come into waiting room and sit with Pregnant woman, kids and old Folk but not go to work (he put me on sick) he just said I need to keep an eye on you?? Doh.

Hi Dai

As I do I hate (though we have to) have my bloods taken every four months now I think?, then wait four days before I get confirmation that all is well, its not a good feeling.

I hope you can continue with your treatment and all picks up.

Stay Well and Fit

Hi Sandie

Am sorry to hear about your Mum having to cope with Breast Cancer as well as MM and hope it shrinks with the treatment that she is having for MM.

My Young Bride (Elaine) was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2008 (Grade 3, estrogene receptive) and this summer she will be 5 years clear :-D, Elaine had a Lumpectomy and 5 lymph nods…[Read more]

Hi Lesley

I wondered why you made this ::: A question for the ladies ?? Then I looked at my photo and looked in the mirror and realized why you didn't ask me Ha ha.

Good Luck with it, our Grandkids don't know about my MM they just know Granddads got "Dodgy Bones" 😛 .

Take care and stay well

Hi Richard

Dear Ann

Am sure its hard for you, and I am sorry you are finding it difficult, rather than being on your own can you not go and visit Family and or Friends, and get them to visit you, I know you might not be up to it but one lovely Lady (Min) said on here that its better to expand your world rather than allow it to close into you.
Am sending…[Read more]

Hi Jackie

Hi Nerys

Your more than welcome, and as you say its good to hear about remission and long ones at that 😀

And just to add to the Good news I have been in remission since 2009 and drug free since 2012, and am selfish as I am asking for a longer remission 🙂

Good Luck to you Both

Hi Sarah and Henry

I can tell you I had them as a child, and got spots again when I was in my late 30s and told Dr my wife thinks its chicken pox ??? He said You should listen to your wife more as she is correct. But be grateful it's not shingles ? So the answer is yes.
Hope he stays well from it.

Just to say that I had my zometa last time over 30 minutes and it made the side effects much better than when I had it over 15 minutes. (Previously I'd had no problems with it).

I've been on zometa for about 3 years now (although I came off it for my transplant in 2011 – blimey it doesn't feel that long ago!), 18 months since transplant. I…[Read more]
