  • Hi Levante,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear this - I can only imagine how difficult this must be to deal with.

    I wanted to send a reply to give your post a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get some more replies. I hope that this forum can be of some support to you - we are always here if you need it.

    I'm not sure where you're at in terms of finding out next steps about treatment, but hopefully you'll know what you need to soon.

    Take things slowly, and keep speaking to others around you for support. And like I say, this forum is a supportive community and is always here if ever you want to write things down or reach out to others. You can also use the search bar at the top of the page to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
