@Former-Member from my experience "duty of care" seems to fall into the "too hard basket"

I'm sorry to hear that @ViperPixie

Amazing @patientpatient What talent!

One thing that stands out for me is my friends visiting me during my times in hospital so much that it surprised the nurses... some had been told to stay away but they cared enough to stick around and their support got me through the darkest times.

This is a truly beautiful thing to read and I'm so happy for you that you had that support. 🙂

Well we have about 15 min left! Time flies!

Our final question of the night is:

If you had the opportunity to meet your younger self, when you were first diagnosed, what would you like to tell them?

@NikNik I hope so. I guess though at the moment I'm just so used to things being they way they are "hope" is a very loaded word for me
