When I was ill the best people that helped me was the MacMillan nurses who sent someone to my home and they helped me no end. Hope things get sorted for you.

Lorna you have a right to be angry as you like me feel deprived of doing all the things at this time of life you should be doing. Having brought up 3 daughters we thought we would be taking trips abroad not constant trips to doctors & hospitals. My husband is in hospital at the moment having his 2nd SCT which is horrible having to watch him go through all this treatment again and praying it will last longer than the last time. Its not just us it effects my grandchildren just can't understand why there Papa is sick again and stopping him from doing things with them that he would like to.Remember you have to look after yourself as well and try and always have sometime for you.I don't participate on the site very often but read the messages most days and it helps me to know that I am not the only one going through this nightmare.

Sorry to hear of your loss it is very upsetting for everyone concerned to watch someone you love going through treatment and all the pain they endure especially when they have always been so active.
My husband is going tomorrow to have his stem cells harvested he had a stem cell transplant in Nov. 2010 and relapsed in April this year. I am finding it very difficult this time watching him going through his treatment again.
Thinking about you and can't even imagine what your going through.

Hi Rach
I was really pleased to get your reply.
My husband went to hospital today to have his blood tests and chemo which was to be the start of his 5th cycle and we were told 2 weeks ago he had to have 8 cycles. The consultant has decided since then that he has to go in to hospital on the 3rd of Sept. to start the treatment for his 2nd SCT which is the day before his 60th birthday. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time all the best to your Mum you take care.

Hi Rach

I have not contributed to the site although i check it every day but i felt i had to reply to your post as i know how my 3 daughters and grand children have been affected by MM. It doesn't matter what age you are as my oldest grand daughter is 11 years of age and she can not understand why her Papa who is nearly 60 and relasped in April after having his chemo and stem cell transplant in November 2010 is now having to have all this treatment again. This cancer does not care what age or person you are the consequences of it effects the whole family and friends. Just keep your chin up and try and support your Mum as much as you can but also have someone you can talk to and be able to relieve yourself of all the worries & questions you might want answered.
Take Care of yourself
