  • Hello Teresa

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. I know that many of our members here will understand the feelings that come with a cancer diagnosis. 

    I'm going to tag in one of our lovely members [@Minska]‍ who has experience with this diagnosis and treatment. I'm sure that she will pop along and say Hello when she gets the chance. 

    You're most welcome to call our team of nurses to talk things through with them if you would like to chat. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040 and I'm sure that they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support that they can ahead of you starting treatment. 

    You might also like to have a look at the Jo's Trust website which has lots of information and support options available. 

    In the meantime, be kind to yourself Teresa. You have had a lot to take on board and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by things. Take it a day at a time. Keep in touch here on the forum if it helps and we'll do our best to support you. 

    Best wishes,
