  • Hi Marie1863,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. This sounds like a lot to be dealing with so I can understand your worries about this. I hope that it's not too long to wait for the procedure. Do be sure to discuss any concerns about it with the doctor beforehand if you would like to.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here soon, particularly if anyone with similar experience sees it. You can also search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you would like to.

    We are always here for support if you need it, and I hope that the forum can be helpful for you.

    We do also have nurses available if you'd like to talk things through at all. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
