Hi Kaz,

Welcome to the forum. I am sure that you will find this a very useful and supportive resource as you travel along your cancer journey. The diagnosis always comes as a shock, but I am glad to hear that you are now coping well. Many people go to pieces at this stage, but sadly, stress doesn’t make things better, nor does it make the cancer disappear.

Have you been given a date for your operation yet? I hope that it’s not too far away. I am glad to hear that both your employers have been understanding, as this isn’t always the case. Time does seem to stand still at times like this. Try to distract yourself by keeping busy.

I hope that the op goes well. Please keep us informed of your progress and remember that there is always someone here if you want to talk.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you. It is the waiting that is annoying I will hopefully find out more on Tuesday when the medics have a meeting. I am ok with it just sometimes have a small wobble like thinking it must be wrong I can't have cancer or a moment of being a little scared but they are only very small moments I am lucky that I am one of those people that cope well. I am also worried about the financial aspect as I haven't been working at my main job lo g enough to get sick pay I am going to look that all up .
