Hello Cooperman64

I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. It's naturally a worrying time for you and understandable that you have concerns and questions about the future. 

It's great to hear that you have a good support network around you and I'd really encourage you to lean on those people whilst you're undergoing treatment. 

I know that many of our members here will understand the question that you've raised. I'd really encourage you to talk with your Consultant or specialist nurse if you have one about your concerns. I'm sure that they will be able to offer some support and reassurance by answering some of the questions you have about what happens after your treatment finishes. They will likely also be able to let you know about any support services that are available in your area and if appropriate, refer you to a specialist counselling service. 

For now, Copperman64 try not to think too far ahead as this will increase your anxiety. Concentrate on getting through this phase of treatment and taking care of yourself. 

If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

Best wishes,
