Hi Djangofan,

I'm so sorry to hear of your situation. I can understand that the lack of information about what to potentially expect must be making things even harder. As you say, there is no set answer to your question. It will only be the medical team involved in this person's care who can give any indication. If you can, I'd suggest trying to talk things through with the relevant doctor/specialist when possible - it's important that you are able to prepare, both emotionally and physically, so hopefully you are able to speak to them about this.

If ever you feel you'd like to talk to someone in the meantime, our nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5). Again, they won't be able to answer your question, but they're there if you want to speak to someone prior to trying to speak to the specialist.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
