Guest guest Posted March 7, 1999 Report Posted March 7, 1999 , I have not been on this list for very long, but I think you should say what you want everyone else's toes be damned excuse my french. I am considering the band and personally I think it is valuable to hear both sides of the story. Please don't back down just because you think people are angry, what you have to say is very important to me and I am sure others like me who are considering surgery. I guess you kind of are getting raked over the coals so I understand your reluctance. I just wanted to know that I appreciate your input! Sharon Quote

Guest guest Posted March 8, 1999 Report Posted March 8, 1999 Why do Bandsters think I am having a go at them personally. Dear , I don't think you're having a go at the Bandsters, and also, I really think that those who haven't had the operation yet ought to know both sides of it. But you can't ask those who had a successful operation (lucky us) to tell all the risks. As Aly said, if a friend tells you she wants to have a baby, you won't tell her she could have a Downs baby. That's why it is really important that you, Jo and Debie keep posting and giving your point of view. We are here to encourage, inform, and support each other. And everybody's advice, point of view and concern is welcome ! Love, Marina Quote
