Hi my lovely's  it's been some time since I've discussed changing 

To a MPN Specialist , well I've done it , 😜

I discussed it with my haematology department & it wasn't a problem to them , I am waiting for a referral some time soon ,

I hope I've done the right thing , hubbys not to happy about it 

He says they've kept me fit & well for 3 yrs now , Why the change of mind , 

Well as you all know my new status being a Nana , it got me thinking , I want to stay well for as long as possible (as we all do)

But it only hit home since my grandson came along , 

That I want the best possible care for now & long term 

So I'm hoping I've done the right thing ,   

I thought you'd like to see my little Prince 💙

Who wouldn't like to stay around this little guy 13 wks today Carter James , I love Hume so much xxxx

They Change our life , I'm so greatful for being given this beautiful little boy he's amazing 

Just what I needed to pick me up

But now it's different I have reason 

To get the best care now 💙

Hi Pam,

What a gorgeous little boy, no wonder you love him to bits!

Great decision! I decamped to an MPN specialist almost three years ago and never looked back. I have a three hour round trip to Manchester from Windermere but it's worth every mile.

I was in the care of a local haematologist who was very good at his job too, and completely dedicated, but I never felt that he really knew as much as he could about MPN s particularly PV.

I put all sorts of info his way particularly re MPN voice and patients day for professionals, but he wasn't interested.

You won't regret it.

All the very best.

Louise

Thanks Louise I really couldn't imagine life without him ,

He's brought to much love to us in 13 wks beyond belief 

He's Nana's little Prince 

That's good to hear your change was worth it , I hope mine is to 

I've heard lots of great things from this Hospital it's only 10 mins drive from me ,(( Bonus ))

They forgot 3 appointments I've had to ring to remind them ,

Must sign off now 12;30 am 

Take care

Well done Pam hope the new hospital works well for you and of course the gorgeous Carter is great motivation to be in the best of health .

I love the way you love him so much it's great to see xx

Hi Pam , well i think the decision you have made is GOOD ! I never thought of this , and totaly agree with you ! mainly because although heamatologists know there stuff , its seems in my view  right to  find a MPN specialist , should be available for us all ,if need be or we feel disatisfied , especially this cancer is fairly rare and lots people havent a clue what it is , You go gal and do what you feel is right , your body , your life love Holly xx
