If you have a birdshot diagnosis, please can you kindly tell us which town/village or city do you live in and which hospital are you treated at. Please do this via a short email to Rea and Annie at birdshot@live.co.uk.
We have access to mapping software and thought it would be interesting to map the geographical location of people we know with Birdshot, together with the centres we know where Birdshot is treated.
We already have this information for around a hundred of our members, but it would be great if it could include a bigger group.
This map is something we wish to develop. It will help us pinpoint areas in the country where we could have a local support group. It will also be interesting to see if there are more people with a birdshot diagnosis in particular geographic locations. Who knows what we might discover!
Overseas members are also welcome to let us have this information as it will be very interesting to do this globally as well.
We look forward to hearing from all of you.
Annie and Rea
