Soop's Kitcheners...

soop Having an answer is a positive start to dealing with this. Sending good & positive wishes to you both.

to you both.

soop, fifinnochio has expressed exactly what I was thinking only so much better.
My love and best wishes to both of you.

soop acute or chronic?

ffinnochio said it for me too soop. Keep talking to us and popping in to your lovely kitchen - we couldn't manage without you. Love, hugs and best wishes to you both

And from me too soop. and (((hugs))) on a continuing basis

Soop my love and best wishes to you and Mr Soop. At last you know that treatment is available for that mystery illness and hopefully Mr Soop will begin to feel better after all this time.

All good wishes from me too, to both of you. I hope you hear soon what the treatment is to be and when it is to start.

May I echo all the above good wishes Soop, now at last something can start to be done xx

Galen it is ALL, acute.

soop at least you now know and the wheels can slowly grind into motion and get the treatment started

Just read the news soop and I am sending both of you positive vibes and and loving good wishes.

Both of you need them right now - you with your painful shoulder and 'orrible URTI and dear MacS with his, now, at last diagnosed condition. Keep strong and share with us when you need to. You are such a special part of GN and all of us will be rooting for you both.

No! Acute and chronic are different. soop has said elsewhere its chronic which is much commoner in adults.

Love from me too.

soop has stated in her post that it is acute.

Sending you positive and healthy vibes soop and MacS ((((hugs))))
And love to you both.

At last you have a diagnosis! Thinking of you dear soop and MacS and wishing you all the very best with any treatment which may be needed in the future

Now then you lot there is no need for glumness. You have all, without exception, been a great comfort to me during the waiting/belly-aching bit and I'm blest to have your support. As I said, MacS [sleeping with Rory on his lap] is NOT fretful. Once the stage/level of the ailment has been established, we shall have an appointment and learn what is considered to be the best form of treatment. Since early June I've known that there was a problem with MacS's health. He has lost weight and he is tired but he never complains and in spirit he's tip-top-fine. We're to have a wee dram later this evening...to toast his forthcoming recovery.

The sea is huge. The sky is clearing. The wind is something else. Bye for now. I shall return in the morrow.

Apologies. I should have typed "chronic" not "acute" I was a bit befuddled earlier this afternoon.

...much improved after a pot of coffee and x

My love and best wishes to you both. You have been so supportive of all your Granspals, soop, and we are all here for you too. (((Hugs)))

soop shall raise a glass of to you both, and to the road to recovery.

Don't feel the need to apologise soop, understandable.

Enjoy your well deserved wee dram. I will raise a glass to you both for MacS's speedy recovery. Slainte

No, it is not all acute. Chronic is slow-moving, quite a difference.
soop Let us hope that they can quickly decide on the best treatment for MacS and he will soon be back on an even keel. Thoughts are with you

Love to both of you soop and McS. Leukaemia sounds so frightening but from what I've heard, if there is a better kind, this is it. Good luck with whatever treatment is recommended. x x x

The phrase I have homed in on is that treatment is available. You both have every reason to feel positive but will need perseverance and patience as there will be a lot of waiting and hanging around. Yet again I hope you too will find that when the chips are down the NHS is second to none. DH was diagnosed with Lymphoma nearly 6 years ago and his treatment was both easy to undergo and completely successful. Wishing you both well for your journey to restore mcsporran to health. 2 pieces of advice if I may be so bold- get a kindle (if you haven't already) oe even 1 each, as there will be a lot of hanging around (that's why we are called patients) and also when help is offered, take it - casseroles, cat sitting, driving, laundry, anything at all. Your friends and neighbours will want to do what they can- don't "go it alone"!

And I'm afraid Rory doesn't come first, McS does!
