Putting the @ symbol before the person's username tags them so that they know they've been mentioned in a post.

To add to any threads, just type in the box and hit "post comment" using the @username if you want to tag someone in particular.

You may have to request that your GP is advised of all results as they won't necessarily be. My onc was happy to do this but said that they don't do it as a matter of course because often GPs are rather alarmed at some of the blood levels, etc. during chemo.
