I have never liked last year's changes to the forum. I'm sorry to say because I know a lot of thought and work went into them, but if it were possible to return to how it was before I would think it worth a try. I don't think it's a case of how many and what folders. We lost so many people when the ...

Glad to hear this Mick, keep on updating us won't you.

Hi Charlie I can't add to the advice already given other than to suggest you keep a log of anything relevant during this time of waiting to see how things pan out.

You are having to deal with so many emotions and pressures, and at the same time you need to keep a clear head as y...

Hi NannyLoz, I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby granddaughter. What a traumatic few months you've had. I can't add to Robin's excellent response, just want to second his welcome to the forum and to emphasise the importance of documenting everything as he advises. Wishing you strength as you figh...

Hi, echoing Robin's welcome, you will find you are among friends here :) I'm so sorry you've been through such hell and it's disgraceful that the support for your niece and yourselves was not provided long ago, but sadly many of us here will be unsurprised. I agree with Robin that it sounds as if th...
