Hi
I new on the block. On New Year's day they found a tumour on by mum's spine she needed to have major surgery she survived this and it took some time to come up with a diagnosis. She has grade 3 myeloma and a mixture of slow and aggressive cells, just got the news yesterday. She is being admitted into the Marsden tomorrow as a inpatient for intensive treatment hopefully have a stem cell transplant. I have scared myself silly researching this particular cancer. I guess I am looking for support...

Bert is still fighting, I din't know how but he is. We had a few scares at the weekend where I had to call the kids in several times but he keeps on rallying round.
He is sedated all the time now because the agitation was just getting worse, the fact that he could not remember stuff really upset him. He has to get his lungs suctioned several times a day to get everything off his chest so he can breathe. It sounds like he is drowning in his own secretions it is so hard to watch. They told me...
How much more bad news can they give me ?
We were given the results of the last 2 scans its in her Kidneys and in the bone as well as the brain .
Dr Jane told mum that there is no need to see the nerologist ,-i think up till now she thought he was going to give her a cure.
The news had finally sunk in to her so very hard when your mum says Jayne i'm coming home to die !
We cried together , i cried all the way home ,then i cried when i saw John (my husband ) and we cried.
Tonight i have to...
First time on the site. Found a lump in my breast a couple of weeks ago and am at the hospital on Thursday.
Done some surfing on the Internet and kind of know what to expect, but am worried sick.
Just wanted to share -(
I went to see the surgeon yesterday the one who saved my life when my bowel burst.
We discussed the reversal of my stoma, he is going to refer me in 2 months when I have gotten over my chemo which ends at the end of March.
I was hoping he would refer me now due to waiting times etc. I want to be put back together again before september when I am due to go to my boyfriends grandaughters wedding in Zante. At this rate I guess I will still have my stoma.
I have gotten used to my friend, but will be...

Seriously the emotions I have been through in the last few weeks!
It is exhausting.
Cant find the words just finding this week tough.
On friday mummy went to sign up for a trial that her new oncologist suggested. He sounds like a very encouraging doctor and I have noticed a more positive attitude in her since she started treatment with him. In there first meeting he did not give a prognosis like the other oncologist and really stressed how different every patients case was; he even cited an example of one of his patients living for ten years after an incurable diagnosis.
I am really happy that she has decided to do the trial and...
Ron's son and family have visited for a few days. One of the disadvantages of living so far away is that they have to fly. Fortunately they can get from Liverpool to Limoges which is only an hour away. Tim seems to get bigger every time we see him. At 6' 8" he towers over his father who is a mere 6' 2". As Ron has lost weight and his hair has thinned as a result of the chemo he seems smaller and older. They share a love of trains , large and model, so it was a treat to see them working together on...
