I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. If you'd like to read some guidance on our website about treatment for cancer and ways of coping, you can at anytime. There is support out there and don't be afraid to speak to your medical team about any questions or concerns you have. Also, if you wish to speak to any of our cancer nurses, you can call the freephone 0808 800 4040.
The nurses' phone lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday, but please be aware that the lines will be closed on New Year's Day, 1st January and reopening Thursday 2nd January.

Moderators are not medically trained, so unfortunately we're unable to help with this, but if you give our team of cancer nurses a call they should be able to assist you further. Moderator Anastasia gave you their number in her reply, but I'll put it here as well. It's 0808 800 4040 and they are available on weekdays between 9a.m - 5p.m.
If you're unable to contact them by phone you can make a new post about this in their section of the forum called ask the nurses.
We're thinking of you Val and wishing you all the best with your treatment and appointment in 2 days time.
