  • Hi Gaiete`,

    Welcome to this supportive and friendly forum. Thanks for your kind message re my dad.

    It is one heck of a shock to find we have cancer.  While you are waiting for scans or the results is as most people on here well agree is one of the worst times. Our minds go into meltdown and always assume the worst scenario. Once we get our results and treatment starts we tend to cope better for we know the full picture; it's the not knowing that causes so much worry. Anytime you need to talk or rant, this is the place to do it for people will fully understand for ofthen they have fely very much the same. We can all use our experiance of cancer to help others.

    Take care, sending kind thoughts and best wishes your way, Brian
