  • Welcome to our forum, Blondeworrior4.

    I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been diagnosed with AIN3 and VIN3 in April and it came back after your surgery in June.

    Like many here can attest, waiting for treatment can be one of the hardest parts, especially when it feels like everything is out of your control. Some people in a similar situation find it helps to focus on the things they can control each day, like keeping a routine, having a chat with someone they trust, or finding small ways to relax. It can really help to remember you are not alone.

    If you would like to talk things through more personally, our nurses are available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on 0808 800 4040.

    It’s okay to feel scared, please try to take one day at a time and remember we’re always here if you need a chat.

    All the best,
