Hello,

I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer last year.

It's perfectly normal to feel apprehensive before your first treatment as you won't know what to expect.I was scared on my first treatment but the nurses are so lovely & you will be well looked after.They explained everything to me & don't be afraid to ask them questions.It was a very relaxing atmosphere.Very quiet which I liked.Hope this helps.

Take care

HI there, Thank you.yes  .I am feeling nervous. Saw my oncologist yesterday. She was very kind . My husband is allowed in with me. Hopefully my treatment will go well.i will let you know  how I get on thank you again x
