  • Hi Jules/ 

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I can't answer your question as I don't have a j peg, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list again.

    I realise that any replies you get might now be too late, as you're having your scan today, so it might be an idea to speak to one of the nurses on the Macmillan Support Line. They're available between 8am and 8pm on 0808 808 0000.
