Hi Nicki, I am pleased that Sam is coping so well at the moment. I am right behind him, I go in for SCT on Monday 22 Nov, so will be following your posts with great interest.

My understanding of the process is that he probably will feel a lot worse over the next 3 to 5 days. But we must bear in mind that it affects everybody differently.…[Read more]

Hi Stuart, May I start by asking the you to pass on my thanks, the new site is a real improvement on the old – well done.
I was going to ask if we could have a couple of non MM topics; such as Humour and Photographs I feel it would broaden the site appeal and give us somewhere to share things other than MM. I think the existing topics are good…[Read more]

Please give your mum all of our best wishes. I have MM and would be stubbon but my wife won't allow it.;-)

Thanks girls, It is nice to know, sort of reassuring, that everything is "normal" so to speak.

Change is hard the older you get the harder it becomes. They will come in the end I hope. This is the Beta (testing site) but it will become the main site and replace the old one. It is far better.

Is it possible to have the "monitor this post" as a blank box as opposed to already completed. It is just my preference no real reason :-/

Actually, on the old site, I found it handy to reply in a different colour if I am replying to a person in the middle of the thread. People tend to look to the bottom of a thread for the latest post.
