Ah, @colleenyoung, very relieving comment. Everyday has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me, one minute I’m very positive and hopeful, the next minute, I’m sobbing loudly. My husband is very optimistic though. He doesn’t like to see me crying but sometimes I just can't help it.

I’ve now stopped looking up the mets thingy and I’m trying to concentrate on his op and recovery only. I’m sure he’ll be fine.

I tried McMillan chat yesterday but the nurse was super-slow in responding so I gave up. Do you have any suggestions for getting answers to medical questions at all? Our consultant’s secretary is awful, her phone is on voice mail all the time.

@jay88, please could I ask at what stage you are atm? Any advice would be much appreciated.

@colleenyoung, thank you again tor your kind words! xx
