  • Hi jcd I actually agree with your son ,I read a post on here a while ago it was from a lady in the same situation and she said that her Consultant had told her to think of it as living with a chronic illness and that's what she said she was doing ,I'm glad you are feeling slightly better you never know new information could become available so never give up .

  • Thank you for your message it helps keep my hope up
