  1. you've got me on a whole different thought pattern now W.T.L. - I see what you mean ("cheesy") but don't forget Top Banana! :)
     
  2. I’m partial to a lemon :D

  4. Well, by God Chris, I certainly did forget it! But I feel liberated, no longer on the defensive!

    (Of course, yellow hot rods aside, American Graffiti is probably where most of us first came across "Who cut the cheese?", too)
     
  5. Love them on battered cod, i.e. with hot grease, which is sort of like cooking them; or on 'Greek' lemon chicken, but couldn't eat them straight!

    Grapefruit, on the other hand! In fact, it's time I bought some.
     
  6. You'd like me then.

  7. DB you're an inspiration, I had cancer twice but am luckily clear, have been for sixteen years, it has left me with life changing issues which become more of a problem as I get older. But some how I feel really guilty when I read a story like yours.
    You have my utmost respect.

  8. Never feel guilty for being a fighter and surviving everyone’s journey comes with after issues
    You keep fighting and moving forward and live each day as it’s your last
    You too have my respect
    Now be proud your a fighter no more guilt :punch::blush:

  11. Each day is a new day and sometimes it’s different in a way you have no control over. Just got to keep going and keep smiling.

    Best!

  12. ouch! Not sure I could go for that
     
  13. I prefer limes. Juice two fresh limes, add honey, a jolt of Barbados rum, and some boiling water. Delicious, cheers me up + Vitamin C.

  15. So as not to spam the what have you done today
    A little update to the back pain I have been experiencing and results of MRI

    Im not relapsing thankfully
    My pelvic lesions are all stable
    Contrasting and comparing last years MRI

    My spine shows signs of crumbing
    My T1/3 have started to collapse
    My T9 has collapsed further
    I have scoliosis
    Par for the course as myeloma relapses and steroids contribute as well as treatment
    I'm staying on painkillers as they are working
    Overall a good result :)

  18. I'm back again :)
    I have relapsed. Been having lower back pain for months it got worse Dec 25 into this year when I recently had a different pain in my waist and hips
    PET scan couple weeks ago show small active lesions in my shoulders/hips/L1 and in my thigh bone
    I need an X-ray on the thigh to see if the bone is compromised and or fractured
    Next week I believe I'm signing consent forms for new treatment
    Let's go again into putting my myeloma back to sleep
