  • Hello hildahilda, 

    I'm sorry to hear that there are concerns raised from your Mum's most recent tests. I'm sure that it's an unsettling time for you all. 

    We do have a team of nurses here at Cancer Research UK and I wondered if you might find it helpful to talk to them about Mum's results. You can post in our Ask the Nurses topic area here on Cancer Chat. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for the results of the biopsy. Do come back and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
