Hello Supermom
I'm sorry to hear that your daughter has recently had surgery on her thyroid for a possible cancer diagnosis. It's understandably a worrying time for you both.
We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult. Has the tea given her any indication about when she may hear some news? Don't be afraid to call them and ask for an update. It can sometimes help to know roughly how long she may be waiting for news.
In the meantime, if either of you would like to talk things through with one of our nurses for some advice and support you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
I hope that she has some news soon and that the team is able to give her some reassurance about things.
Best wishes,
Jenn
