  • After the sad loss of Peter (Min's husband) to the above side effect I googled Neutropeanic Sepsis and looked at the following link.

    For me it was much easier to understand as it was in video form. I know it is not a vey uplifting subject but maybe one that we should all be aware of

    Dear Min

    I do hope everything went well. What a lovely picture of Peter you have put up. I realise that it may be a while before you look at this forum again or, indeed, you may not want to come back to it but I am sure I am not alone in saying I hope you keep in touch.

    Much love Gill xxx

  • How on earth did you manage to spell that Dai? I have heard it said before but the pronunciation is not lodged in my mind. Any chance of you spelling it phonetically for us so we can all have a go at saying it?

    Anyway I digress

    IFY up for grabs.

    PS years ago a friend at work sent us all a "roundtuit" it was a piece of paper cut into a circle explaining that it was our very own "roundtuit"

    Dear Sarah

    Maybe you and your son should take up "debating chairs" 2 people sit opposite each other and take a completely opposing stance on a subject.

    Never personal, deeply religious or deeply political but usualy loud. It could be anything I am just glancing around now and know that my daughter and I could vociferously debate what's…[Read more]

  • Hi Alison

    Sorry to see you here (in the nicest possible way)I think this is a site that we are all very grateful for but all we wish that we had never had to even look for it let alone join.

    It is my husband who has mm diagnosed in 2008 when he was 53. He has had 2 STCs but is not doing so well with this second one (much slower…[Read more]

    Anybody want to "INK" in the rest 😎

  • Gill replied to the topic My father in the forum Carers 13 years, 2 months ago

    I am so sorry that you are having such a rough time and all on top of losing Gordon.

    I have no cure for your shouting M I L, well one or two but nothing legal:-) Shouting back would probably not help. You could try keeping a crossword by the phone and just make sympathetic clucky noises down the phone whilst filling out the crossword.

  • Hi Bridget

    Good luck with your RT Hope it zaps that pain right out of the window.

    Stephen saw the radiology oncologist today and he is to be zapped next week. Like you he cannot wait as he is in a great deal of pain at the moment. His scan has shown that he has a tumour that is, as the doctor put it, nipping his spine and that is what is…[Read more]

  • Jean it is not you I posted a word and a chat and then realised that the word I had chosen did not have all 3 last letters so I quickly deleted it 🙁

    It is me with senior moments as I cannot even remember what the word was:-/

    My message to Bridget was that I would not even remember if we had the same 3 letters twice but I think we would…[Read more]

  • Before I suggest my word I will tell you that my heart sunk when I saw that the webteam had replied to to my first try of getting this game up and running. I thought that they were going to say it was a too frivolous subject.:-/

    Hi Paul I am so pleased that the dex is not affecting you Good luck with the rest of your treatment and do still pop in to this side of the site as well as the under 50s Stephen (husband with mm) is 56 and was diagnosed when he was 53. Stephen and dex did not go well together, and it is great to hear that it does not affect everybody in a negative…[Read more]

  • Gill replied to the topic Ecstasy for myeloma in the forum Treatment 13 years, 2 months ago

    Ecstasy? Cannabis? I have had to stop Stephen climbing up into the loft to look for his kaftan, beads and psychodelic LPs.

    We grew up in the 60s 🙂

    On a far more serious note. It infuriates me to hear that hospitals are not willing to fund certain treatments eg Sharon's PET scans. I am no math buff and probably would not understand the…[Read more]

    Dai has a far better way with words than I do but I am sure his eloquence speaks for all of us.

    I hope Wednesday is a great celebration of Peter's life and I will be thinking of you.

    Thanks to Eve for pointing out the attachments. What lovely photos and what treasured memories they will be

    Much love and hugs from just one of your cyber…[Read more]

    Sorry Jean I have no knowledge of this at all. Hopefully somebody will be able to explain. Have you thought of asking the nurses on this site? I know,from what other people have said, that they are very helpful.
