    Hi Elly. Definitely not alone. Sounds like your family have really been through it. Happy your sister doesn’t have LFS – have other members of your family been tested?

    oh Elly I’m so sorry to hear that, but it’s good that he’s well. Have they mentioned anything about screening for you both? Are you being seen at the Marsden or somewhere else?

    Hi Elly, I hope you are well. I’m so sorry to hear about your losses and that you and your little boy have LFS. I know how hard it is having children with LFS, 3 of my children have it, so far only one of them has been poorly but he has been off treatment for almost three years now which is great. It is good to hear that you are both getting some kind of screening and fantastic that you are getting full body MRI’s, I’m trying at the moment to get more screening arranged for me and my children. I’m glad that you’ve found this forum as like you said its good to know you are not alone in this. Xx
