  • Hi pete58,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It sounds like there is a lot to process at the moment - I hope you are getting on as OK as can be. I also hope you have others around you to speak with, but either way we are a safe space on the forum for you to write things down and speak with others who may be in a similar situation or who otherwise understand.

    Hopefully my reply here will help your post to get some more replies from others on the forum. You can also search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.

    Do of course discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Our nurses are also available if you'd like to talk things through. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    We are always here if you need it. Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
