  • Hello Elaine,

    I'm so very sorry to hear this. What an utterly horrible position to find yourself in. It must indeed be terrifying. Anyone who reads your post will feel the same way, I'm sure.

    You'll find a huge amount of personal experience and support on this site. You may easily hear from someone who has faced the shock and fright of similar unexpected news.

    Also, the moderators and nurses often reply to posts like yours. Their valued comments not only contain very useful practical suggestions but also wonderful compassion and understanding from the site itself, so to speak.

    You're not alone. Really, you're not. We all need help and support. That's why we're here.

    With warmest wishes.
