@Karenp23 Welcome aboard & hang on for the ride of your life!! We are all here for you & there are many here who have endured what you have so come to us for any advice. Good that your recent doctors visit has helped answer a few questions & keep writing those questions down for future visits.

Keep ticking off the boxes & try not to think too far ahead as the goal posts change all the time so you may find yourself worrying over something that may not happen. Be kind to yourself & stay strong & positive as hard as it is some days. love & hugs xx
