Hi Tanya

I can honestly feel for you as I also was brought up in a household that revolved around drink as a child, Both my parents have now passed away Dad first then Mum, I never used to take my Sons (all grown up now) to "Scot Nanna's" due to her drinking habit.

That said to show you you aint on your own 🙂 xx

That said I wish you Luck with your Dad and I dont think it is going to be an easy route for your dad or you, but he needs first to tackle his drink demons first to get the help he does and will need.

Take Care

Hi Jean and Frank

I had mine cut in Hospital by a kind nurse and when I got home i shaved it to the bone with my Electric razor and kept it like that for some time, just used to swith electric razor on and sit wathcing telly and running it over my bald head, did same with eyebrows when they started to have bald bits in them.

Tell Frank to get it all shaved to the bone for a month or two its a lot better (well was for me)

Love to you both

Hi Ann and pete

Do you know when i was off I dint like the telly on nor radio I used to sit and read or go on Commie in between sleeping lol.
You should try and borrow a "Shooting Stick" for Pete I was given one and i carried it when out and when my back was bad or I felt tired ext I popped it open and used the little seat to rest Worked wonders for me and the dog walks 😀

Hi Sandie

Am pleased your Mum is getting better and hope the next round of Chemo is good for and to her 😀

As for the steroids well we all differ in what and how we cope with treatment but am sure am safe by saying a weight gain is civen on steriods (i did but i had lost a lot of weight due to MM (and I thought it was my diet ha ha) as for the steroids helping the osteo arthritis pain ?? I dont know all I do know is that it cam mask an infection so keep an eye on your Mums Temperature.

New Knee am sure i need two and am only 57 lol, the Bisphosphonates before you go on them you should have your teeth checked and anywork done on them, before, when on them you can still have them cleaned and filled I think the only thing you cant do is have any removed, you will need to be of the Bisphosphonates for a bit of a time.

You have got a busy time ahead of you all, Hope it all pans out Just right

Love Tom Onwards and Upwards xx

Andy

I was at work today when some one asked me how i was doing and as i started to tell him another workmate ? walked in and heard our chat and said "Oh are we on about this death again ??" so I said to him "If you were going out Friday and today you felt a spot comming how would you feel?" he said "I wouldn't go out on Friday if i had one :-0 " and i said Just think how I feel being told that life expectancy with MM is Five years and I was told in 2009 that I had it ?? Do your Maths Dick head. I know how you feel Andy I same as you and others and thats not a Bad thing unless we are faced with people like I have had today 🙁

Keep well you all

Hi Rob
And a warm Welcome to you and well done to you.

After my SCT in 2009 (Dec) I went onto Zometa for 2 years am now in remission and drug free 😀
The Zometa might give you symptoms of Flu but that will soon wear off.
