  • Hi Di-ane,

    I noticed you haven't had a reply to your post just yet so I thought I'd quickly stop by to welcome you to the forum and to reassure you that your post has been seen.

    I'm very sorry to hear you were diagnosed with terminal cancer of the unknown primary earlier this year and that due to a new growth, it has become unstable.

    I know this must be a very scary and worrying time, but the Cancer Chat community are here for you Di-ane and hopefully those who are on a similar journey will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.
