      Hello everybody.

      I've got some very good news to post. My best pal Helen went for her scans Thursday and results came in today. Her lung mets are stable (they were immesurable last time) and her hip tumour has shrunk again. This time last year (almost to the day) she was hit with the news that she had MM stage iv and she had 6 months to live. She has been on the GSK trial since then and has no side effects.

      Hello everybody.

This time last year (almost to the day) she was hit with the news that she had MM stage iv and she had 6 months to live. She has been on the GSK trial since then and has no side effects.

      I tell her all the time about the people on here that are fighting the good fight and I endlessly quote CharlieS. My job is to keep her positive at all costs and that I get from you. The community you/we've got here is so knowlegeable, supportive and caring.

      Many, many thanks and I think of you warriors every day.
