Oh Kay I wish you had scrolled a little lower and read "from devastation to elation". Thank you for your kind thoughts and wishes but they checked again and Stephen [b]has[/b] got more frozen cells and they are viable He will be going in for a second SCT after all.

Hope you are well love from Gill xxx

So pleased that they seem to have got Slim's problem into touch. Let us know how it goes Gill xxx

Dear Mary

I am so sorry for your loss. Painfree and comfy is all any one of us asks for at the end, and the fact that he was able to tell you that he had enjoyed his life is really nice to know.

Love from Gill xxx

Hi Bridget

Why didn't they think to ask your friends on here? We could have told them about you (and the rest of us) being weird:-)

Stephen seems to be similar to you with mm. PP not too bad but boney damage very bad.

Stephen's consultant is not sure which way to go. He meets with a group of specialists regularly (TBM tumour board…[Read more]

It is so nice to be right sometimes. Found my copy of the poem "sexy at 60" and it is Pam Ayres

Great fun David. Here is one for all you men http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ3SC-gVvy0 called things not to say to your wife

Thanks for all your lovely posts. I have been walking around with a huge smile ever since. We were told that there is no guarantee that a second will help. But it is a chance. We are determined to make the most of whatever comes.

Happy Easter to All Gill xxx

Hi there Caroline oxycontin has never been prescribed to my mm husband and I know nothing about the side effects My husband takes vast amounts of morphine (mst and liquid morphine for breakthrough pain) to get him through.

When he was first prescribed morphine his med team did concern themselves abut addiction. They soon reached the (correct)…[Read more]

Dear Min What rotten rotten luck. I am so sorry that it didn't work out. Next time you feel like having a holiday let me know. We will leave our men at home and have a pensioners party on the costa de something. Love from Gill xx

You are all such a source of support. Today is another day and Stephen and I have decided to live in the moment (according to dog experts that is what dogs do).

The sun has been shining here all day. We have 2 stupid little westies that have chased each other(and us) ragged and the okay dokay bitd has just sung his evening song. I know, I…[Read more]

I think kisses are geat. Anybody who objects has a serious problem in their lfe. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:-)

You should be in bed madam:-) Yes he will be put on revlimid but we were told that it will not help for very long in Stephen's case. I don't think he was that surprised. He is back on crutches and in a great deal of pain and has always been very philosophical about the outcome of this b*****d illness. Me?? I am in pieces. Was brave when Stephen…[Read more]

When we visited our solicitor regarding our marriage we were really surprised at the lack of any rights a "common law" partner has. Without wanting to be depressing most of it did revolve what would happen if one of you died first.

She told us that the person left would have no right to keep anything unless it was willed to them or the next of…[Read more]

Hi Eve and Slim

When we got around to getting married we visited our UK solicitor to change wills, status etc. and like you we found out that although not as archaic as France here in the UK you have few rights if you are not married. She compared a "common law" wife, or husband, to the law according to the Daily Mirror!!!.

Congratulations,…[Read more]
