Glad to report I am feeling better, and have done for a few days. I didnt get to talk to the Latch social worker as Holly was off school the day she was due and I didnt want her to know anything about it so I cancelled. So instead, I let it all out to a friend. I'd already warned her about my frustrations at people trying to say the right thing and it just making me feel worse - and not to use the word NORMAL! - I just needed someone to listen without judging.

I will just tap away here for a little test moment to see if this works!
I've been through this long hard journey with my grandad which first started with investigations around 5 or 6 years ago. After lots of of appointments he was finally diagnosed with MDS (Myelodyplasia Syndrome) after having a bone marrow sample taken.
