It won't be specifically appropriate for most people here but I thought I'd
share some information which came to me this morning.

Leeds, my city, has been in the forefront of lympho services for years and
I'm quite impressed with their new website.

You are lucky to have these services available and I hope you don't
need them, Alex

Well, I've never had 'full-blown' lympho but I put that down to having had
help, advice and training from the service. They're also there just to
listen, if you need it.

If I don't contact them annually they ring me to ask how I am and if I've
kept up with the MLD - not just me of course, they do it with everyone.

A really encouraging aspect of the service is that the same staff have been
there from the start - they're utterly dedicated, some might say they have a
missionary attitude but I think that's good.

We ARE lucky and the founder is gradually encouraging other Trusts to
develop their own services.
