    I do think your going to get a lot of help and support from the forum @Lou27713 and also hopfully distraction.

    Brilliant idea @Teddybear12 x

    Hi, thank you for your message,  
    Trying to get my head round things, I had another CT scan yesterday,  my consultant said I will need an operation which has really worried me.
    I'm feeling quite sorry for myself if I'm being honest! I'm sure I will feel better in a few days, I am constantly tired and notice I'm struggling to do certain things not sure if it's just being tired
    Thanks again

    Bless you @Lou27713 you sound like every thing is a struggle at the moment.
    I know it's not nice to be told you need an opp as well. I don't know anything about your condition but hopefuly the opp is the best solution and it will help you feel better.

    Thank you Sue, I appreciate everyone's kind words. 
    It makes a difference when you can talk to people

    Talking to people can definitely make a big difference, so I'm glad our members have been able to support you @Lou27713 :) How are you feeling this morning, now that you've had some more time to process it all?

    It certainly does, i know i joined this group when i was diagnosed with extra condition that i already have, and it's the best thing i have ever done. The advice and friendship is amazing, when you settle down and except every thing you've been dealt with you may find it a great distraction as well.
    How do you feel about having an opp. i know i wasn't in a good place when i was told i might be able to have one 
    the thought of it frightens me, then i think can i live like this, on a good day i think yes i've got this but on a bad day it's like do it NOW. Yours does sound like a nightmare tho,

    Hi Tori, although I've only just joined this group it is a huge support,  up and down with emotions. 
    Thanks again

    Morning
    Sorry to read your needing an operation, but hopefully it’ll help you and you’ll feel a bit better.

    Sue, I am so glad I found it.
    I like you feel positive one day and not the next! I hope you are ok also.
    I am worried sick about the op hearing nightmare stories!

    Thats the trouble i found reading or hearing to many negatives, we don't wont to hear that so just think about the positives.
    Yep i'm okay, we have to be, might be a bit different after next Thursday. I've got a telephone appointment of the surgeon mmmmmmmm trying not to think of it ha ha x
