Hi Ian

Well it is a minefield the pension lark and I am no expert, but I am still working (age 58) and have one frozen pension and one am still paying into, now I looked into claiming the frozen one and what I would get in a lump sum and a monthly payment was not worth filling the forms out for as it will pay out £29 grand to my estate if I die before I retire :-/ and at the moment I have another 8 years to go for that.

So as I am still working I am leaving that alone for the moment but still have the right to collect it if and when I have to pack in work.

Each to their own Ian the above is how I feel at the moment 😀

Hi Vanessa and Stewart

I am sorry to hear that the Company has decided to lay Stewart off, and as for Private medical cover I also wouldn't bother with that even if they took Stewart on with his existing MM.

I know that some times the fight is all but gone from us when this happens but it must be worth talking to the company to see if they can lay him off due to his MM? Stewart might then be able to claim more Money from the Government, as for the Home am sorry to see its in negative equity, BUT if this was me and My Young Bride we would sell the house and try and get on the Social Housing system and you can declare yourself "Bankrupt" or try and get help sorting out any debts you have (including the mortgage shortfall) it can be sorted that you pay a minimum and pay the big debts first then move on to the next when that one is complete.

I know it wont be easy but the sooner you tackle the problem and make those aware what is going to happen the sooners its solved.

Good Luck and my first port of call would be Citizens advice bureau (CAB)

Hi Sallyann

Well I have never had Pain ?? I get a bad back and a sore shoulder but that is put down to wear and tear as I have had all the scans and X ray stuff done 😀

I went into remission prior to SCT whilst being on CTD (my first line of treatment)
No Staging with me I had a lump on rib cage and after telling two DSr's its neither a pulled Muscle or a bruised rib it was Xray's then withing about four weeks I was seen by my Consultant and he told me on the 2nd visit I had MM 🙁
Never needed RT during any of the treatment, and after SCT in 2009 when I done two years on Zometa I was then drug free so its a yes get out and enjoy yourself, just a wait and see how long this SCT lasts really.

Hope the Above helps???

Hi Mandy
Good Luck with having both done at the same time 😀 am sure you will cope well.

as you say its one thing after another that needs fixing 🙁 when I was ill I used to say am like an old car I used to run, one thing would break and need fixing every week just like I do Lol.

But here I am SCT in 2009 and sat here in remission and drug free 😎 soon be you saying same 😀

Hi Sallyann

Well am sure you know a problem shared is a problem halved 😀
And you are correct about other peoples problems, I know that I don't have to read much nor look far to see/hear about people that is far far worse than I.
I make the most of my time with family and friends as I am in remission and doing great, am sure Daz will get to this point soon also.

I cant answer your Q am afraid it will vary with when the machine Daz will use has got a spare bit of time, I hope its not long as am told it will help the pain.

Love to you Both

Hi Trish and peter

Sorry you were not well Peter 🙁

Its hard to know when to phone Hospital up am sure, I hope you stay well for a long long time.
as for the 3 hour wait for the Ambulance isn't good, and complaining ?? am not sure if that would do any good but I know if it was any of my family I would certainly write a letter asking why it was so late in arriving when you were informed "Peter was very ill and he was not safe travelling in a car" ??

Hope Peter goes from strength to strength.
