Hi
I think I have managed to attach a pic not the one I wanted but I don't know how else to change it. So now I and my daughter are on the square I am feeling very proud that I managed it and want to thank you Dai for you instructions.
Love Teresa.

Hi Eve
first let me ask you how do I put a photo on here?
I just love your dog and all the other photos it seems a bit more personal than a black square, mind you that's how I feel some days!
You have certainly been through the mill with Slim. The SCT isnt a picnic either.I will be thinking about you on 23rd and for the following month as you…[Read more]

Hi Andy

Hi Andy,
I am glad you are O.K. and had a busy Easter even though you are paying for it now by being tired out. I wonder what you drink in the pub if it's beer you may be interested to know my son in law has a micro brewery here in Toronto and grows all his own hops on rooftops around the city and brews all sorts of lovely stuf. (I don't drink…[Read more]

Hi Eve
Did I read somewhere that Slim is going in for a transplant?
How are you coping?
Love Teresa

Hi Helen
On reflection I am sure you are right it is about having some control over an otherwise spiraling out of control life. I do hope they get your gut problem sorted out before you go off on your vacation, you lucky thing. Do as much travelling as you can, We did,( including 2 trips to Sydney to se his brother in one year!) and are so happy…[Read more]

Hi Eve
I have now had time to calm down and reflect. Yes I was mad at Peter and told him I didn't agree, but it is his pain, his logic was wait until he is put on chemo for the myeloma and see if that works and keep the radiation for another day.
I am so glad you have had the same thoughts mad angry feeling the burden then I guess, like me feel…[Read more]

Hi Helen
I am so glad your appointment is so routine and you get a good walk and a coffee with your daughter I just hope the sun was shining and the weather good for you. It is so great to get out of the hospital atmosphere and get fresh air.
We had our appointment yesterday and an x ray was taken today we were in again to see the pain doc. I…[Read more]

Hi Andy
My goodness so young and so full of medical terms.Good luck with your blood work tomorrow. When Peter had his 11 phials taken today he said don't drink it all at once to the young guy that collected it for testing boy some people just don't have a sense of humour the look he gave Peter could have turned him to stone!
Glad you had a few…[Read more]

Hi Eve and Helen
Sorry it's a combined reply.
Yes deep breaths did help I went to a yoga class on Monday night in readiness for bad news at the hospital today. I couldn't stop yawning but the yoga instructor said that was good showed that I was letting go and relaxing. Didn't realize I had so much relaxing to do, the whole class yawning!! I…[Read more]

Hi Helen
I hope the snow didn't affect your planting. Maybe it was just a light snow and no real deep frost to go with it so all is well?
I have alliums and lillies in my garden and they have been there for years. I only have summer flowrers in pots so no planting out for me until the end of May.
Yes we were so upset that the trial only lasted…[Read more]

Hi Andy
I hope the Rev/ Dex combination works for you and you get to the Stem cell transplant stage, but only after a long remmission on Rev Dex. first
I don't know what dtpace is but it required 5 night s in the hospital so may be you can tell me what that is?
Hope you are abel to enjoy Easter

Dear Mavis
I am so sorry to hear of all the trials you are going through but glad things are getting slowly sorted out for you and Gordon, I am thinking about you and wishing you well

Hi Gill
Yes thank you I feel safe to donate now. I am from London Marble Arch and some of my family are still in London. Even though I am sad for all children I guess the London ones feel closer to home.

Eve,
my heart goes out ot you and your daughter.

Luv Teresa

Hi Andy
So sad to hear your treatment has stalled a bit, does that mean you have to wait for the Stem cell transplant as things aren't going so well for you on other treatments? What treatment were you on that has stalled
You haven't had MM for very long and you look young so I hope it goes into remmission quickly for you.
Our 4 years of…[Read more]
