On the 6th June, I am on a clinic/consultant. at 11.25! But I am at the lower level.
My infusion is 23rd May. (day ward). The day ward staff are really nice, but is it me or does it sometimes seem a bit chaotic?

Hi Maureen

Well I was told I had a pulled muscle or a bruised rib when I went to GP, and before I left her I had another Dr brought into the room as I wanted. Second opinion as I knew it want one of those.
