How do you know there's a myeloma sufferer in the house?

There's Neupogen in the fridge. (Boom boom)




Yes we now have a handy supply of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) sitting next to the cheese. Gone are the days when it's contents were delights such as a nice bottle of chilled white wine or an ice cold beer. I did question the wisdom of giving us the stuff when we don't need it until the beginning of October, but I guess it saves us having to make a special trip over to Birmingham and the QE! Dr PM is very to the point, questions were answered by one of the two CNS that she works with. I walked away feeling that we really had no say or choice in the matter of SCT, Mike I think felt it was the only course. So in theory it is all timetabled to happen October and November. No doubt I'll get used to the idea.

Good news, our Cancer Kicker dominate bracelets arrived today, despite me telling Cassie and Phil they didn't need to send them all the way over to the UK because of the postage costs!
