...In terms of ideas for vlogs: have you created a roadmap for your transition at all? I am considering developing one both for my own benefit and to ensure that my wife and parents are involved in the transition and how it will pan out. My only concern about using a roadmap is the pace of NHS treatment (I am still waiting for my PCT to fund the referral) vs where I want to be. I would also be interested to hear about your continuing experiences with hormones. Lots of Love Joanna xx

Hey Katie im glad that the recovery is going well, you can see the improvement and as you said the scarring will heal pretty quickly. Don't be too apologetic about your voice, I think it sounds really good - if you watch your early videos you can really hear a significant improvement. I use my voice a lot at work too (lecturing) so I am looking forward to starting vocal therapy to work on it.

Hey... banana an custard? they gave me a crummy lasagne an sent me home! i didnt even stay overnight in the end. Your looking and sounding really good hun, no lie. thanx for the mention btw. Dont worry bout ur voice, the thng i found is the more practise you do the better youl sound but it takes time to become second nature so keep at it, ur doing great xX

Congratualtions Kate your looking really well. When i had mine done i was slightly concerned about the raised scar but mine healed very well it just takes time. Take care xx xx
