thanks everyone for the positivity. As the person concerned stated, they are now sitting at about eight out of ten. Currently no more surgery or treatment planned, blood markers are good and repeat scan in three months. While I’d like a definitive negative, I’ll take that for now.
on other news, we each had a pb win yesterday so sig has been updated for the automatic reinvestment. Also, an item on vinted has gone and two more items have been suitably rehomed.
thanks to those who recommended mounjara. I’ve been reading up and it’s only available in NI if ozempic cannot be sourced which is unlikely for me as I’m on the lowest dose. Still, I’m at the surgery next fri for a b12 jab so will inquire.I had my counselling session this morning and discussed my secret sugar binges. This, along with other arising matters, are to be explored in greater detail.I must admit, I’m currently feeling emotionally quite wobbly.
today I am grateful for
a relative’s good health news
the support from this community, I struggle asking for help normally but am comfortable doing it here.

8/10 is a high mark, that's good news. Good to hear it. And well done on your pb wins and counselling progression. I can understand your feeling wobbly and perhaps now is a time to get a solid footing and get to a steady point before making any big steps forward? At least be gentle on yourself.

Glad that's positive news about relative, even if not the absolute certainty that would be preferable.
