High Wycombe Visit

On Wednesday I had the very good fortune to discuss Myeloma with a group in High Wycombe. They proved to be very cheerful and responsive and I certainly enjoyed the event.
Many thanks to the group, and to Georges, Chris and Donna for their support snd hospitality.

The New Year

Today was the first clinic of the New Year. I met the new consultant at Bristol who told me that, yet again, my PP count for December (it always takes a month to get results) was 5.
Great news and the Dr. seemed very pleased with my progress to date.

"If you have the chance, take it. If not make it"

Keep well, keep healthy and "KBO"
