  • Hello Laineyed,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat and it's great to hear you're in remission.

    It can be tricky to know what could help and I hope members of the forum in a similar situation connect with you. If you haven't already, it might help to discuss this with your doctor in case they have any recommendations. We also have a free and confidential nurse helpline, if you'd like to speak to one of our cancer nurses. You can call 0808 800 4040 and lines open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Moderator Anastasia
