  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Suzywoozy although I'm very sorry to hear your cancer is terminal and for how your GP delivered this news to you.

    There is no right or wrong way to react to receiving such life changing news and this is naturally very distressing, so be kind to yourself and allow yourself time to process what you've been told.

    I hope this information we have on coping with this news will help but if at any point you would like to speak with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Our members are here for you Suzy and will do all they can to support you on this journey.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
