Hi Curly Sue, Thank you for posting your update. Its so good that you are feeling more positive after the consultation, and that further investigations are pending.

Dear Janine, We are so sorry to read about your mum having had a stroke. It is so difficult watching her suffer I am sure.

Hello ValJean, Thank you for your post. I am sure that others will respond to you in terms of personal experience, or experience of looking after a loved one.

Hi Rose, So sorry to hear the news about your sister, and the recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer at a young age. It can be very hard to take on board such a diagnosis, and its not unusual to have a whole range of emotions which you are describing. Its difficult to be a "bystander", so to speak, a...
