Hello to everyone here. My wife was diagnosed with WG this morning. She starts her steroid treatment tomorrow and first batch of chemo on Monday.
I'm greatly comforted by the support I have found in many of the forum messages and, although on the other side of the World, I strangely feel just next door to you all.
I'm certain to be dipping in and out as we begin our battle with WG together as a family.
Having so much usfeul information to hand is a God send and I may well sleep a little better tonight!
Best wishes to you all,
Jason

Hi Jason, so glad you found our group so quickly!! I'm sorry your wife was dx'ed with Wegs. At least she's starting off with a lot of support and info from people who collectively know more than the doctors!

Please ask anything you like.

Morning Jason. Give your wife a big hug and make sure she knows she's not alone in this.

We are all here to give support when required. No question too small or silly, rants accepted and we even give our full attention to the strangest of subjects like where we have our washing machines!

Look at that a post without a question - do I really fit in with this forum? Oh bugger - maybe I do!

As you can see Jason Hammy has a good sense of humour as well as many others on the Forum as well. Even I am know to crack a joke now and then. I find it important to keep a sense of humour going even when times get tough.

Morning Jason, Im in UK as well, sunny manchester, except it isnt very sunny. We are all a great bunch on here and I have found this forum to be a great help, I have laughed and cried at some of the topics. But it is a great community very helpful and very supportive. Hope your wife endures the treatment not too bad, and please remember it helps to make us better even tho we dont think so at the time. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Jason, yet another UK member here so you are far from alone. When you can get round to it, please give us a brief story of your wife's symptoms and diagnosis. Everyone is so different and it gives us a chance to give more relevant advice should you need it.
