Keep strong Pete!! I'm now two years on from starting my chemo,what a Christmas that was!! but here I am alive.....just suffering from the cold from hell LOL Live and enjoy life everyone,and best wishes to you Pete xx
Give the Macmillan nurses a ring......please! They are amazing and will be able to give you most of the answers you seek. I hope you find relief and I wish you all the very best :Kiss:
I'm throwing this out there as I am so upset over the messages in this thread. If ANY of you need someone to talk to,who knows what it's like to have/live with cancer,please PM me or ring me ANYTIME. I helped my mate @chizel with his ex-girlfriend,who just yesterday got given the all clear, we are now the best of friends. I just feel such a need to help,nobody can tell you what it's like unless you've been through it. I have the legacy of my mum dying from the same cancer as me,and it may come back for me.....you cannot describe this feeling to anyone,so please please get in touch if you need to talk,ask questions or just sound-off. Much,much love to all of you and what you and your partners/family are going through xx Sorry @Pete1950 didn't mean to hijack your thread
You're welcome. But I would not recommend giving out your personal phone number on an open forum. A better idea would be to set up a Conversation with all the forum posters who have contributed relevantly to this thread. If you want to, of course.
And on the back on this thread I have a confirmed diagnosed with Myeloma this Wednesday it's a cancer of the plasma cells it's in my bones and it's treatable but not cureable at this moment in time I started my chemo yesterday which will take 4-6 months and then a 2-3 week stay in Cheltenham or Worcester for intensive therapy I'm very positive at the moment that I will be put into remission In all it's taken 10 days to get from bone marrow biopsy CT scan to diagnosis The cancer unit we have here are amazing all the people I have been involved with are fantastic My consultant is brilliant as is my specialist nurse I can't do anything about the diagnosis I can only go forward and be positive that all will be ok Funnily my specialist nurse said yesterday the old Viv is the past the new Viv is the future Please please ask me anything I like talking about it The Myeloma UK website is a great source of information for those that want to know more It's a relatively unknown cancer I think it's 15 on the list but new treatments are being found regularly Blessing to us all fighting this bloody disease
Viv So sorry to hear of your news, it's a proper bastard. Staying positive will definitely help you along the road to recovery. X
