I have waitied over eight months to find out the cause of death for my Son Stephen, and still got no coroner;s date, but been told probably SADS-hereditary so all family need testing, at last get date, Thursday. Got call today, your family is so big, ten of us, can only do siblings and Mother this month, grand children next month-how long do they expect us to stay sane with a death sentence hanging over us-I argued my point-got to wait till Thursday morning for decision.

10's not that big! but I guess their thinking is if they give you and your children the all clear, then odds are your grandchildren may not need testing - it sounds logical to the people in the office but is no concilation to you and your family when your worried and scared for ypurselves and loved ones. Hope the test results come back ok. (((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))

fingers crossed for your tests on Thursday. How long will you have to wait for those results?

No idea how long we have to wait for results-I just need us all to get tested and sorted as it is causing so much worry and pain for both myself and of course my children-had enough worry-would love them to get the all clear for Christmas-bless them and their little one's.

Must admit I have been so focused on getting test date coped well, but now the day is nigh-getting nervous. Thank you all for your kindness these past eight months-everything crossed for tomorrow.

Hi, What a distressful and heartwrenching time for you. Just keep being in their faces every minute of the day so they don't pass you down the line and forget you. Shouldn't need to do it but just make sure they know you are on their backs 24/7. Like anything else these days, the more you complain and are in their faces, the quicker you get things done. Thoughts are with you. Aileen xxx
