Cancer has spread

Hi, After 6 years of having a full active life, I had a CT scan and today I’ve been told the cancer has spread, don’t know how or where until I have an MRI scan this week. Not sure how to cope? 
any ideas please, I’m in shock.

  • Hello Tempo

    I'm sorry to hear that a CT scan earlier this week has given you news that no one wants to hear. Undoubtedly this is a very difficult time while you're waiting for the MRI and more information from the specialists. 

    We know that this period of uncertainty can leave people feeling a rollercoaster of emotions. There will be a lot of uncertainty over the coming days while you wait for questions to be answered. I wonder if it may help you to talk things through with someone. If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them 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. 

    Keep in touch Tempo and let us know how you're doing. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
