It’s been a really lovely Birthday day, today. I’ve felt lots of love and joy from everyone in my family, and friends. And we’ve had some delicious Birthday cake 😋 A perfect day. Thank you everyone x

Mmmm … it’s my Birthday tomorrow. What a year it’s been! This time last year, my Myeloma hadn’t been diagnosed! I was being tested in all sorts of ways, but the problem wasn’t diagnosed until 3rd February. Treatment started on 24th February. I called it ‘Ken’, because I couldn’t say the word Chemotherapy 🙄 Ken… Continue reading DAY 53

Up early and off into hospital for a blood test (again), and to get more tablets.  Only four bottles of blood this time. They’ve cut out the ‘light chain’ test because it’s been stable for about 2 months. A nurse gives me a big bag of boxes of tablets.  Surprisingly there are enough for 3… Continue reading DAY 52

Blood test results today … and here’s a summary: I’m still doing really well, though some results aren’t perfect. The Consultant said that they expect results ‘to wobble a bit’ after Stem Cell Transplant. So they’re going to check it twice a week, now. Isn’t the way that they look after me wonderful 👏👏😊

AMAZINGLY, YES … THIS DAY 50 So I’m half way to the magical DAY 100. And the Hospital told me today that yesterday’s blood test results are EXCELLENT! And I’m feeling EXCELLENT

This is day 49 😊 … so you know what tomorrow is … DAY 50! and I’m half way to DAY 100 👏👏😊😊👏👏😊🙃💪😊 Tomorrow is BIG PARTY day 🙃🤡🙂 This morning was another Hospital blood test 😊 which was thankfully quick. Right now I’m waiting for a call from King’s College Hospital, and I’ve no… Continue reading DAY 49

A beautiful Blue Sky Walking Day !!! 😊 So we sit having coffee in the garden … Mandy does quite a lot of ‘planty’ stuff, while I supervise 🤣 And then we head off out to The Friary, for a Blue Sky Walking Day Walk 😊. Taking coffee with us, we walk to my favourite… Continue reading DAY 48

Nothing to report today (1/1/23). Continuing to get stronger, and more mobile. I checked and topped up Mandy’s car tyres 👏👏 Had a slightly weird message from King’s College Hospital about a phone appointment on Tuesday … But life is good 😊😊

Well, another day to chill, and think back over 2022. For me like many people, I guess, the worst part of 2022 is the horrendous terrorist attack on Ukraine. A really good part of 2022, for me/us is the way that we’ve worked through my Myeloma diagnosis back in February, followed by four months of… Continue reading DAY 46

It’s Friday, and a lazy (very wet) day after a good week. Important to have a lazy day, because I’m very tired after yesterday’s activities. It totally amazes me how fatigue kicks in after (in my terms, a lot of) physical or mental activity. But I’m absolutely thrilled at the way I’m becoming a bit… Continue reading DAY 45
