I was there at 11.35 but got time wrong, but they said there is no meeting, I tried a few St. Paul's along the same block where cafe rouge is. How was it? Next time can it be a bit later like 12.30 please. Thanks

Hi mado so sorry you couldnt find us today.We eere at st pauls hotel near the peace gardens.Its the large hotel next to the silver globe water features, The staff there wouldn't have known it was a meeting as we didn't book a room just met in the bar longe so we just looked like friends having a coffee.It was just an informal chat swapping experiences and treatment options .We are going to have the next meeting on a saturday in April..Could you do 11 o'clock on a Saturday? We thought trying a weekend would gibe the people in work a chance to join in.I will send you a private message concerning my experience at the hospital, Take care

If any of you wanted to start your own group then I would be happy to chat to them. I have a gathering at my house every 6 weeks. Talking to people online really helped me and I would have loved to have attended a group, so as soon as I felt up to it I started my own. Although I am in Solihull I see an Endo in Sheffield - at the Royal Hallamshire if anyone wants to ask me about that they can pm me and I will be happy to share my experience both really bad and good
