  • Hi Shelly

    This is a great place to sound off so please don't apologise for venting your feelings. Often people come here because they can say things they couldn't say to family members. I hope they will be along to offer you some support and advice shortly.

  • Hi Folks,

    I've got MM, diagnosed in October 2016. Feel free to ask me anything and if I can help, I will.

    Had a CT scan last night to investigate abdomen and pelvis for anything to explain the anaemia I've had for the past 8 months. It'll also look at a bowel stricture near my colostomy and check for possible hernias. (I may have another 3).

    Unlike most people, I've got no anxiety or anything about waiting for results, it'll be what it'll be. And I'll be 'sufficient to the moment'.

    Which means at this moment, I'm about to have macaroni cheese for breakfast. On toast.
