  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Denise.

    I'm so sorry to hear that your mum's cancer has returned, what an incredibly difficult time this must be for you.

    You mentioned your mum has an appointment with her oncologist next week. Will you be able to accompany her? If you are, that might be a good time to ask about the MRI eight weeks ago and where the cancer might have spread.

    Also, our cancer nurses' phone line is open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040 if chatting to them might help.

    I know what I wrote don't answer your question, Denise, but do feel free to stop by anytime you need a chat. And once you know more about your mum, come back and give us an update, we're keeping our fingers crossed for her.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
