Hello Random-Bloke and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum. 

You've mentioned in the title of your post that you're due to have a first visit. Have you had that appointment yet? If so I do hope that the team were able to give you some advice and information that answered some of the questions you might have and offered some reassurance about your care. 

If there's anything that you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

Sending my best wishes, 
Jenn
