Hello, and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your situation. I can understand how unsettling it can be waiting to find out more.

It is difficult to be sure why you are having a phone call in the first place but it maybe because of Christmas. The phone call will give you a chance to describe your symptoms to the specialist and they will hopefully be able to tell you about some investigations that they may be arranging. Do ask them when any tests will be arranged so you have an idea about when you might expect to have them.

Do write down exactly when your symptoms started and don't be afraid to ask any questions. . It sometimes helps to have someone else listening to what the doctor has to say. Do let them know about your concerns.

There are other non cancerous conditions so try not to over think it too much for now.

If you would like to chat to one of the nurses on the helpline then you are welcome to give us a ring.

The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the nurses are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5pm.

We are closed on Christmas Eve and all of the Christmas bank holidays.

All the best,

Catherine
