    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and wish you well with your upcoming surgery this week. Hopefully your recovery from the operation will be smooth and you'll be home before too long. 

    I don't know if you've spoken with Macmillan about your financial situation but they have a team of specialist welfare rights advisers who may be able to help with advice, information, and support. 

    Best wishes,
