A warm welcome to the forum Newman.

I know the next two weeks will be a challenging time but I'm glad you've joined us as our community will understand what you're going through and will hopefully be along soon to offer their support and advice.

I'm also going to include a link to this discussion as you may find useful at this time. As you'll see there are a few members who have contended with similar symptoms and have had treatment in Liverpool so if you'd like to have a chat with them, just click on the pink 'reply' button underneath the post of the member you want to talk to.

Our lovely team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except bank holdiays) between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to talk things through with them as well.

We'll have our fingers crossed for good news Newman.

All the best,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
