  • Hi Kazza-15,

    I'm sorry to read about the difficulties you and your daughter have been going through. Unfortunately I can't advise on your question. I know you posted a couple of days ago now and so there is less time to wait for you to find some answers - whether this is tomorrow or on Monday. Try to minimise your worry in the meantime - by doing things that are positive and distracting. I know this can be easier said than done.

    If you'd like to discuss any concerns with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5), and they're always happy to help.

    Wishing you both all the very best.

    Ben
