  • Hi toon1,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now - I hope you're getting on OK.

    You may find it helpful to post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum to get a response from one of our nurses, who may be able to advise. Alternatively you can give them a call on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5 - if you'd like to talk things through.

    Do of course keep in touch with your doctor if you have any concerns or you're struggling at all - or if you'd like to know more about what to expect.

    In the meantime, hopefully you'll get replies from others on the forum, particularly if others with similar experience see your post.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
