Welcome to the forum, Gottakeepgoing although I’m so sorry about the reason that brings you here.

Hearing a timeline like that must be incredibly difficult to process, especially when you are feeling so well, full of life. It really is a lot to take in, but your positive attitude and energy are wonderful to see.

It is completely understandable that the steroids and a bit of late-night Coca-Cola have kept you awake! Sometimes you just need to enjoy an evening out, even if it means being wide awake at midnight singing Alanis Morissette. You have already been through so much trauma in your life, and your strength as a parent really shines through in your words.

Waiting for that scan in six weeks must be at the back of your mind, and I am keeping everything crossed that chemotherapy and immunotherapy are doing exactly what they need to do.

If you ever feel like you need a proper chat or have questions about your treatment side effects, you can always speak to one of our nurses. They are incredibly kind and helpful and you can call them for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm.

Please keep sharing your updates with us, we’re here to listen.

All the best,
