To all our lovely forum members,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the festivities so far. For many of you, Christmas will be a difficult time, a time to remember our loved ones who may no longer be with us but who are still very much in our thoughts. You may also be caring for a loved one with cancer and I hope that you can make this Christmas a very special one. 

On behalf of everyone here at Cancer Chat I just wanted to wish each and every single one of you a very Merry Christmas. The moderation team will be here throughout the weekend and bank holidays. Our lovely nurses are having a well deserved break over the next few days so if you have a question for them just be aware that they will not be able to answer your posts until they return on Wednesday 27th December. Their phone lines will be open from Wednesday as well between the hours of 9a.m - 5p.m. If any medical emergencies arise, you can find out what out of hours services are available on the NHS website.

Whatever you may be going through at the moment which is making you feel a little sad or anxious, whether it is waiting for test results, or remembering a loved one who cannot be there with you tonight, I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and I am thinking of you and I am right there sending you a big virtual hug. 

Warmest wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
