Hi Stewart

Venessa can contact me if she wishes. I too am struggling to come to terms with Ian's MM. The doctor has prescribed diazapan for me and I take it when I need it. It makes me feel calmer but I also believe that god will look after us. What age is Elsie?

Hi Stewart

My husband was daignosed in October at the age of 56 with MM. It has been a great shock to us. I cried continually for the fiorst 3 weeks. The doctors has given me vallium which I take when I need it. I stay strong when I visit my husband in hospital.
