Hello Moonboots80 and welcome to the forum.
I'm sorry to hear you were recently diagnosed with cervical and anal cancer. This must have been very difficult news to receive but I'm glad your treatment is underway.
Talking to friends and loved ones about cancer and how it is making you feel can be very tough, but I hope it helps to know that our members will really understand what you're going through at the moment, so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.
I'm not sure where you are based, but you may find it helpful to get in touch with Maggie's. This cancer charity offers free expert care and support to anyone that has been affected by cancer, and if you have a local centre near by, you can drop in at any time and connect with others who are also on this journey.
You're also very welcome to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and will do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have at this time.
We're here for you Moonboots80 and wishing you all the best with the rest of your chemo, and the start of your radiotherapy as well.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
