Moving home

[Mujer]

Hi Maz, I am moving home on 16 March to live in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland and will need to find new health care. I wondered if there was anyone in that area also with an MPF ( I have MF) who can recommend a specialist. My haemotologist here has been absolutely lovely so I am anxious to find the right person in order to continue my journey. I currently take hydra and inject with EPO. Many thanks for any help.

Hi Mujer, if you can travel to Edinburgh from Bathgate then I would suggest transferring to the Western General Hospital. Best wishes. Maz

Hi Mujer I have ET and live in Edinburgh. I attend the Western General and they are amazing and the specialist Nurse is so helpful to call if needed. I do believe that the hospital In Livingston is very good too but I don’t know much about their Hematology Department. Good luck with your move and Welcome to Scotland 😀

Thank you KizzyO3 and I am just so grateful for this information and this site. Over the last year since being diagnosed with MF it has been so good to read all the posts and realise I am not alone. Every blessing.

Hi Mujer I also have ET and live in Edinburgh I attend the Western General Hospital and have had good care from them.

I just attend once a yr and have my bloods done at GP surgery x 3 monthly (virtual clinic) things are very stable just now and this system works very well for me.

Best wishes in your move

Mary
