Hello Trixie, and welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry for the reason you find yourself here, but I hope you'll find the forum supportive and useful. We have a few members who are going through similar experiences, so it's worth having a look around and chatting to people on other threads, too. 

If you have any questions, our nurse team are also here to talk. You can call them on (freephone) 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).

Do you know when you'll hear back about whether you'll need an operation? Do keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. 

Best wishes,

Helen
