Hiya! Today we have our first appointment with the local consultant - eeeekkkkk! I know this is a fact finding meeting for all of us and I'm trying not to get carried away as I know we have a long way to go but I'm so pleased our journey has started. We didn't have to wait too long for this appointment but again, I know that we might not be so lucky in the future. I want to be excited but I know this is the first step of hundreds so am trying to keep myself in check. Thanks for all sharing your experiences, I have a bank of questions to ask as a result! Wish me luck (and right back at you all). x

First appointment today - eeeeeekk!
It is exciting as your journey is starting, as you say there is a long way to go but it's started.
Good luck for the appointment.
How exciting!!!! We have our first appointment with consultant on 21st Sept, I am counting down the days. Let me know what happens. Enjoy as it one step closer xxx
One step closer which is fantastic. It's hard but do try to take it one step at a time as it can be very overwhelming xx
Good luck on your journey xxx
Hi everyone, thanks for the messages of encouragement We saw a lovely lady who took down all our details and asked a million questions. It seems we should be eligible for funding but that's TBC. We were given all manner of forms for various blood tests and other tests AND I was asked if they could take a smear/swab whilst I was there which I was NOT expecting! But at least that way I couldn't get bothered by it beforehand! We'll get an appointment to be seen again in 3 months with the results of all our tests and then we can make a start. YAY! 3 months seems like such a long time to wait but I guess it's only taken us 3 months to get this far so far and that has flown by, so fingers crossed. Sending you all lots of luck too x
