Hi thanks for all your responses, you've helped put my mind at ease. FLOP- Thanks for letting me know about what sort of tests to expect. Hope you don't have to wait much longer to get the tabs you need. MAGGY- I'm from Birmingham, the hospital told me to tell them when the appointment comes through that i've got to travel down from Birmingham & they'll arrange any tests to be done in the afternoon on the first day to give me more time to get there. Where abouts are you from? Helen t- Thanks for the advice, i already thought about making notes about my symptoms etc so it might help me remember what i want to say. When i get anxious or nervous i forget everything so that should help. Thanks again for everyones help, hope your all keeping well. xx
