Hello Meesh and thank you for posting.

I am sorry you are going through a tricky time with getting started on treatment. Hopefully, its all worked out for you today.

Coping with life and cancer can be difficult as it can affect so much, here is a page on coping at this time.

Trying to stay positive can feel like hard work in itself, but getting started on treatment will certainly help this.

Hi. Thank you. Sounds like they can't get me a bed that soon, despite me being treated as urgent just spoke to the hospital. Worried its going to spread before I can get treatment  it's taken since end of November just to get diagnosed & referred for treatment. I could still be at work, my financial situation is a worry too, not fretting about all this

Hi Meesh, and thank you for getting back to us.

I'm sorry this is all going on for you and treatment is being delayed.

Take care,

Sarah.
