Hi Busybee
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
It must have been incredibly frustrating knowing that something wasn't right but not getting tests to find out what. I hope that everything goes well on Saturday and that you don't have to wait too long for your treatment to begin.
