  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Wodden although I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the impact your treatment is having. It sounds very tough.

    If you haven't done so already, do let your medical team know if this is becoming too much as they may be able to adjust your treatment or offer an alternative.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice, but if you'd like to discuss any worries or concerns you have about this with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to help.
