How do I get started on this site please?
Hi Belzy and welcome to the board. It’s helpful if you can give us a bit of background by clicking on your ‘spotty cup’ at the top right of the screen which will take you to your profile page. You can then click on Edit Profile and put some information in. If you click on other people’s names then you can see their profile page with their treatment so far.
To start a new post click on the black New button on the right of the screen or to reply click on the Reply button under the comment you want to reply to. If you want to ‘tag’ someone ie. alert them to your reply then put an @ and then type their user name - a pop up box should appear like below which you can then click on so to tag me you would type @kareno62 then click on my name

Don’t worry if it sounds a bit faffy - most people will see that you’ve replied to a post that they’ve been on without you having to tag them.
So how are you? Have you been diagnosed/started treatment yet? We’re a friendly lot and all at different stages of treatment/recovery so happy to help and support you and answer any questions you might have?
Take care
