Hi Guys received confirmation that the transplant consultants have arranged for me to have a full heart scan, cat scan, and several smaller tests to be done this Tuesday and Weds in my local hospital and will contact me to attend my first transplant consultation once all the tests results are in. already had a great day until then got my Disabled Blue Badge this morning completed my DLA with help from Fran who is my lovely carer for 42 years before I got ill, now she can get paid for it so I might give her £5 a week of her carers allowance if she behaves herself, Then at 5.30pm receives the great news about the scans and tests.mattcass

Great News MC, You'll be pleased to know, none of the tests are painfull Ha Ha.

I hope you'll soon be hearing your transplant consultant say, 'Your ill enough but fit enough for transplant' Its a weird contradiction in terms but it kind of says it all.

They don't seem to be hanging about so hopefully things will move quickly for you.

Its all positive news MC, Good Luck!!

Tony.
