support group

Hi,

Is anyone going to the support group at hammersmith? Was thinking about going, i've never been to one before though, don't know if it is worth it.

Thanks

Sharon

Hi Sharon,

I was thinking of going, have never been before either. I was only diagnosed in March this year so am hoping to get some answers to questions I haven't thought of yet :-)

Hopefully see you there,
Debs.

It is well worth a visit to the meeting. They are very informal, normally around a dozen of us there. Dragana is the speaker once more, & will be able to answer any questions that you may have. I have been to every one in the last 4 years, & its really useful to meet up with others who are in the same boat. We all chip in with questions & answers, & I allways take something new away from the meeting.
Hope to see you there.

Hi Sharon,
My husband and I went to our first meeting last year (he was diagnosed in Nov 2010).He felt very dubious about going but eventually decided to give it a try. He will tell you himself (hopefully you will decide to go along)that he learnt more that morning than he had in attending any of his hospital appts. It is informal and people are friendly and welcoming - it is so well worth attending, not only does it give you a chance to meet other people but reassures you that CML is something you can and will learn to live with!
Hope to meet you there.
Mary & Tony

Dear Sharon and Debs

I would really encourage you to go. I find it more helpful going there and chatting than I do at my hospital appointments and I have met some fantastic people who I know will help me out with advice whenever I need it.

Hope to see you there

That's my mind made up then. Thanks for everyones comments. I'd already booked the train tickets from Doncaster but was still wavering.

Really looking forward to meeting other people in the same situation as my husband and I.

See you all in a couple of weeks :-)
