I have to share the news ,I had an appointment at the doctor's to start medicating me for Myeloma . When I went in she asked how I am and how I feel ,to which I replied that if I didn't know I had it I would be the same ,she said that my blood test results had been getting gradually worse and that despite me feeling good she wanted to start me on a course of four drugs ,a calcium drip once per month and an injection into my stomach that if remember correctly could be to stop me having shingles as a reaction to one of the drugs .She also said it can be quite "knock the stuffing out of you " but not always .I asked for a time line
She then floored me with the news she had attended a conference last week in Paris where the doctors had agreed the time might be that Myeloma is no longer the cause of death ,that they can control it and that I should have a good life if I continue to exercise and eat well .
We have just consumed a bottle of bubbly as it of course meant the same to my wife , she would have had to move to a more suitable house ,suffered widowhood ,which for her could have been hard and all the rest .
So I would like to thank AT for his gesture this morning as it worked .
