Thank you.

Hi all. I wanted to say thank you all SO much for your advice, help and support . I have been so touched by everything you have all said and I have written down a few thing's that I am going to speak to my Dr. about. I don't hold out much hope as I now feel that I'm just a nuisance to him. I have been battling the medical profession here for month's and I'm so tired of having to do it. Will let you all know what happens. I really want a face to face appointment with my Dr. but that's difficult now. When the cancer was eventually diagnosed I had a very supportive Dr. but he retired....bad man ! I can't change Surgeries as the other Surgeries won't take patient's who already have a Dr.

Anyway, thank you all because you have helped me so much. I wish that I could meet you all and give you all a big,huge hug !

Love and hugs,

Annie xxx

I’m glad you’ve found that the support you’ve had here has been helpful and sorry that you’re stuck with a hopeless doctor.

Hopefully you will eventually have a satisfactory face to face appointment.

You could always type out the points you want to make - try and keep it fairly short and just use bullet points or you will probably ‘lose him’.

Make two copies - one for you so that you remember everything you want to say and one for him to look at while you speak - then to add to your notes.

You could also try to take someone with you.

Love and hugs to you too 😊

I will write down the bullet points and do what you suggest. Thank you. Do you find that when you have a day of feeling really ill and you're in a lot of pain that you can't think straight ?! My brain has gone for a walkabout! I will phone the Surgery on Monday and if he will see me then I will let you know what happens...if anything! My husband works part-time now so I will see if he will go with me.Please take care and let me know how you get on. By the way I love your name!

Love and hugs,

Annie 🧚‍♀️💜🌞

All I keep saying it’s not me. It’s this dammed pred.

Good luck on Monday - think just stick with not too many points but the ones that bother you most. Yes, it can be hard to think straight. Fingers crossed your husband can go too.

Is that a Birman cat in your photograph? I love cats - we don’t have one at the moment but the cat next door thinks he lives in our house - their house is a huge very noisy, very dusty building project at the moment and his garden has masses of debris piled up all over the place.

My husband and I lead a very quiet life and our garden has lots of sunny and shady spots suitable for every occasion so cat-next-door hangs out in our garden. To make matters worse we’ve been feeding him while his owners have been away for a week, what with that and the doors open all day because it is still warm here he really treats our house like it’s his house.

It’s embarrassing because I think his owners was would like to see more of him and there is no way we are trying to keep him. But unfortunately we felt sorry for him and didn’t shoo him away when he started hanging around - hey, ho, though, you know what cats are like.

I just wrote quite a long message to you and I lost it! It was mostly about cat's! I will write tomorrow because I'm exhausted after being up most of last night coughing and being sick! Such fun! Sleep well and I will tell you about 18 year old Freya tomorrow! Cat's tend to choose who they want to own !Love and hugs,

Goodluck on your journey. I hope you get another Dr to your surgery that can help you.

Aah yes, Birmans. I had one for 20 years ..... you will probably recognize vertical take off! I thought mine was the only one to do this until other Birman owners said the same.I also had a half Tabby half Birman, he did not have the same vertical take off! And the other great thing is throw a bit of baco foil rolled up in a small ball and he chases after it in the other direction. They are the funniest cats. Mine like Brussel sprouts!
