Oh Gaye
Am I pleased you have "Come out of the Closet" 😀
I must say am not like you he he, Me when I was told back in Jan 09 and asked "How Long" and was told 5 years I turned to my young bride Elaine and said well we can do that cant we 😀 , and was i pleased when she said YES 😎
I also like others will talk the hind legs (and any human) of a donkey about My MM, The word "Cancer is a nasty word but it is less scary for Elaine and I as Elaine was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Jan 2008 (yep bout 12 months later I was told I had MM) so watching Elaine go through what she did and come out with the pretty's smile Ever 😀 I knew we could do it again 😎
But as for talking about Elaine's Cancer was harder for Elaine than I, Elaine did not want to go out for a meal nor a drink and would not go to Asda Shopping as she worked at asda (other shops available) then we used to go out every nite when she was having her RT it made us sleep at nite 😀
Now as for Family and Friends Honest I could not have done it as well as we did without those close to us far away from us and of Course My online Friends Just like you all 😀
And Honest Gaye it is I that is Blessed, Blessed to be able to class you and all you others as MY ONLINE Friend, and for that I am very glad to have you all help in your own ways, Long may it Continue.

Hi Min
Well I never thought for one minute you were going loopy:-/ as it took me hours to work out he he, think bleach was the in thing ha ha.
Now the Zometa, well I go every four weeks to have mine, each time i am at the hospital the Nurse asks me if my jaw is OK IE do I have toothache or jaw ache, so I know they know what they are on with BUT do I know ?
Only time will tell but i do run my tongue around my mouth to check for any changes ha ha.
As for the having it or not having it not sure they have done a study on it so am not sure if Peter would have had more crushed vertebra.
I often wonder? what would have happened had i not had my CTD then SCT would I be worse or would I be better?? Lord only knows. (bet we all think that ?)

Hi Ron
And sure as eggs are eggs a copy aint half as good as the real thing, (Cola advert?) but thanks anyways 😀
And since am here how are you doing?
Tom "Onwards and Upwards"
Hi Michelle, and that you did made Lol also 🙂
I remember my Dads False teeth and he used to soak them overnight in BLEACH :-/ and we had to rinse them under the tap for him in the morning:-( so I know a bit of your Nasher phobia 😎 would love to hear what the Dr says bout toothpaste 😀
And Bridget I have had a look around the site and cant find your's or mine in any strange thread he he, so what I am going to do is "Copy" it and if its shot of out into Cyberspace I still have it so can repost by "Pasting" it 😎
So here I go "Copy first" then post and hope it goes to the correct thread:-S
Tom Copy done and "Onwards and Upwards"
Lol with Gill, sounds like Peter's sense of humour is same as mine ha ha.
Hi Sarah and Gordon
Well as for men what can I say ?? we dont like to take Pills ha ha
But am pleased all is doing well 😀
And Gordon if you read this trust me its well worth taking ALL the pills they offer, and that is comming from a "Mere Male" that never ever took a pill before he got MM :-S
But av got it and am gonna swallow any and everything to keep it at bay and that includeds the antivirus ones 😎 its Cool to be on the pill8-)
Tom (pill free so far)
Hi Bridget
Am Pleased your R/T went well, Elaine had 25 sessions of it every day cept w ends and b holls, Elaine did well on it and it only happend towards the end of treatment when she was getting ? burnt (ish) but they gave Elaine Cream to put on.
Ps Elaine (my young bride) had the R/T for breast Cancer in 2005 🙁
Thats why we are an "Onwards and Upwards" Family 😎
Good Luck with the rest of the R/T
Love Tom and Elaine "Onwards and Upwards" xxxx
Hi John
I was sat today with a chap having our Zometa infusion's and he tells me his Father had Myeloma, but not the same type/grade as his, never thought it was an heridity thing but its strange to be sat next to some one and finding out his Dad had it.
As for the study, well a few months ago I filled a family survey in and done what i can only describe as a Mouth Rinse? What I had to do was put Cold water in my mouth and swil it round for a few seconds then spit it into a small cup? so this study might be the same??
Tom
Well am sure I posted to this a few mins ago?? well if anyone finds it please return to sender lol, as I am going to write it again)
Number two?
Lol (With Michelle)
First am pleased your Mum has no side effects, and as for the tiredness i think we just have to get used to it??)
Now for the Laugh you gave me Re The Toothpaste lol, am sure the toothpast wil be good for the jawbone when having Zometa inf so its worth a ask 🙂
And Michelle bless you and your Mum for making me Lol real Loud and am pleased I dont have chapped Lips ha ha.
Love and Best sent to you all
Tom "Onwards and Upwards" xxx
Hi Keith
Lord if only I read this this Morning 🙁 as i forgot to ask Dr Jalihal about the toothpaste :-S , still aint got my memory back lol
Yes i was told about the toothpast by the lovely Pamela Buchanann who is on here and the under 50's Pamela is a dental hygenist and hubby is the dentist, so how good will that info be 😎
As I said had my Zometa this morning and all went well 😎 cant wait till next month lol.
Tom "Onwards and Upwards"
Hi Min
Well Witch is not a word i would use about you (tom whispers "as she might put a spell on me") 😎
Like your Home ours is the same Runny Soap as I call it he he.
I did suffer cramp for a little time and would have used Toilet Soap or even Runny Soap to help ha ha.
Might have to take the Young Bride away in a hotel to Nick the toilet Soap in case it comes back.ha ha
Tom xx
Oh Jenny What a shame it is for your dad to go through that.
And Like Gaye I understand his feelings, I myself have wondered if my quality would be better if i didn't have all what I have had done (and thats not as much as some)
Good Luck to you and your Dad its a brave decision he has made.
Love Tom xxx
