Cerebral palsy and breast cancer

Hi 

My wife has cerebral palsy and we are waiting for results for her biopsy. Hopefully it's clean but I wondered I anyone on here had advice on what we can expect if it's cancer. What to expect with regards to how chemotherapy or radiation therapy will be with having CP as well. She is only in her 20's so ...

    I'm sorry to hear that your wife is currently waiting for the results of a breast biopsy. It's natural that you're feeling anxious about the results and what they may mean for her. 

    I know we've had a similar question posted on the forum before and we didn't have any members here who had CP and were undergoing treatment for cancer. I'd suggest giving our team of nurses a call and chatting through your concerns and questions with them. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support that they can ahead of your wife's results. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    In the meantime, it's worth keeping in mind that the majority of women seen in breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer so try to remain as positive as you can. 

    Do let us know how she gets on. 

    Best wishes,
