  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    The best person to discuss this with would be your hospital team or perhaps your GP who know your situation.

    I appreciate this is difficult not being in the UK, but as cancer information nurses not involved in your care we cannot say whether it's OK to wait before you come back home to start the tablets again.

    I don't know if you have any numbers for your specialist nurse (CNS) who you can contact.

    I am sorry we cannot be more helpful, and hope you can get some answers soon,
