Welcome to Cancer Chat Phil, although I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and how this has impacted on your life.

I'm not sure from your post if you have spoken to your GP or medical team about this but if not, do reach out to them as they will do all that they can to help. There is also a cancer charity called Maggie's that provides free expert care and support, including access to cancer support specialists and psychologists, in centres across the UK and online. If you have a centre near you, you are free to drop in any time and meet other people who are also on this journey. A lot of our members have found the services they offer to be really helpful so do have a look at their website when you can.

Speaking of our members, I hope it helps to know that so many of them will know what you're going through Phil, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice. 

You're also welcome to talk to our team of friendly and helpful cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all that they can to support you as well.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
