What's next ?

  • Hi Grog,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It sounds like you've been through a lot recently and it's a lot to be dealing with.

    I'm not sure how much you've discussed things with your specialist about what to expect, and how to manage the recovery process as best as possible. Do keep in touch with them whenever you have questions or any concerns, as they will be best placed to advise and to help.

    In the meantime, hopefully this forum can be of some support to you and that you get more replies to your post soon, particularly if others with similar experience see it.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
