Hi everyone
I've never been in a situation like this before, so I'm not sure what to write on here. I'll just start with the facts. Back in March a diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis was confirmed, and having spent the time since then getting used to the different life that condition entails, last Friday I was told I have bladder cancer. All I can add is that it's already been quite a year, and there are still over three months left!
Thanks for listening.
