update re slurring speech

Many, many good wishes across the miles to you WILLS .

Good luck with this appointment. So glad that you have your family beside you during these worrying times.

wills we will all be with you

Thinking of you. Glad you have family to help you through the next few days.

All good wishes for a positive outcome...

I was wondering, wills. I'll think of you next Friday and virtually holding your hand as will many other grans. It's such an anxious time for all of you. And it can't be long now till your wedding.

My thoughts will be with you too willsandco and I am glad your family will be with you as you have carried these worries on your own for too long. Obviously hoping for a positive outcome, but as I see it, the worst thing must have been the waiting and worrying. As you say, time to get to the bottom of it.

Best wishes for Friday, wills. Hope you have some reassuring news.

and best wishes for good news on the day.

I am very nattered about it but my take on it is that if I have got motor neurone disease, I can't do anything about it. There is no cure, it is only time and tide! There are three alternatives really, go into denial, go into a life filled with anxieties, or get out there and live life as best you can, while you can. I have always been a very positive soul, glass half full and I have the most marvellous family and friends (and all you guys!) When I was in hospital having tests and scans, I had over 120 messages of support on facebook. What a lucky gal I am! But, anyway, it might not be MND after all, might it? Wedding on 12th April and there is so much to do with one thing and another to be organised. Lots to take my mind off it! Thanks to all of you for your concerns and best wishes. Will let you know.

wills you're absolutely right; what cannot be changed must be endured, preferably with as positive a mindset as possible. Love your attitude, but hoping that the results will bring good news.

Good luck, wills - this last week of waiting will be hard, I guess, so sending you a virtual hug for every day from now till the 14th.

Thanks for the update wills. will be thinking of you on the 14th and glad you have family support. (((hugs))) and

Every possible good wish to you!

Sending best wishes for the best possible outcome

For all those of you who have been keeping in touch with me, I now have a diagnosis: We saw the Professor of Neuroscience yesterday and I have bulbar onset motor neurone disease. It isn't a shock particularly as there were so many signs and symptoms that I lived for a long time with the suspicion that that is what it was. But it still bowls you over to hear it from a medical specialist. There is no cure, it is progressive and debilitating although they will prescribe medication which can help. The signs are that it is mild and not aggressive so lets hope it stays that way. Anyway, I am getting remarried four weeks today. I have told my lovely fiancé that, in view of the circumstances, I would understand completely if he pulled out. However, he is insistent that we travel the road together and he will look after me. (What a little star he is!) But then I would do the same for him, no doubt at all. I am very positive by nature so we just have to grit our teeth and get on with it. Take care, all of you xx

Love and hugs to you willsandco keep positive and have a lovely wedding xxx
