Hi New to Myeloma

hello

just wanted to say -you will get lots of support here - theres always someone around ..... at all times of the day and night!

try not to be too hard on your friends - they dont know what to say to you ....probably worried they will upset you ???? it is a difficult time for everyone

the marsden is a fab hospital ....... im sure you will end up being surprised at what they can do!!!!

try to focus on whats happening now -today!!!!

our minds play awful tricks on us ...and we imagine all sorts!............. most of which doesnt happen

sending you and your mum a great big ((hug))

Hi Fi - I don't have any experience of your Mum's illness, but I can say that you will get wonderful support from people on this site, whether they are patients, carers, relatives or friends.

I think all of us that are on the cancer roller-coaster have found that some friends and even family are uncomfortable about talking, they may be unsure what to say and don't want to make things worse for you.

Hope your Mum's treatment goes well, and look after yourself too. Val XX

hi fi , im not in a great place at the moment , but this site is amazing has been a life line to me, the marsden is a fabulous hospital may not have been able to help our outcome but the treatment and kindness we had was first class and i know they will always do their best, in often diffucult circumstances ,

as for friends dont get me started , lol we have very little time left and people are still avoiding me, my hubby was diognosed 6 months ago and it still hurts but what you need to remember is you find out who your true friends are ,i now only have about 10 , but they are solid and i can ring them anytime for anything and they will be their , and the others well will probably turn up for the funeral but they wont be in our hearts like the true friends are,

if you want to talk please feel free to pm me but give me chance to answer im normally quite quick ,but this week maybe different , love jenni xxxx

Hi Fi.  Sorry to hear about your mum and also that your friends are unable to talk to you about it.  They may just not know what t say or are worrying in case you don't want to talk about it.  Don't worry, you have come to the right place for support, understanding and friendship.  My mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in Nov 09.  This site, or rather the people on it, have been a godsend to me.  Try to stay positive and take care of yourself as well as your mum! love and strength to both of you.  Caroline XX

Hi Fi,

My thoughts and love go to you and your Husband.

As for your so called friends, not that I would wish Cancer on my worst enemy. But they just want to think. What goes around comes around. I know that

this might seem cruel on my part. But if you get the chance ask them to put themselves in your place,and how they would feel.

Im sorry Hi Fi if this blog sounds unforgiving. I just having one of those Days.

Take Care and be Safe. P.S. You have all the friends you need on this site who really care and understand.

My thoughts are with you your Husband and Family.

Regards Sarsfield.xx
