Hi. Firstly, good luck for tomorrow! I hope that it's good news for you.

To be honest, I would take someone with you...
When I was given the news that I had cancer, a good few years ago now, I'd taken my Husband with me and I'm so glad that I did. I felt the same as you, that I would be fine on my own. I'd mentally prepared myself for bad news and was armed with the questions I wanted to ask. The reality...it was still a shock, I struggled to take it all in and needed him there with me.

Fingers crossed it will be good news, but having someone there with you to support you is a good thing I think. Let them be there for you. Will be thinking of you x

Stage 1 to 2 rectal cancer. I have a great surgeon, my age (I'm 45) and she is looking at the treatment plan to decide if it's too much.

I feel better for knowing and feel like I'm in good hands.

Hi. Sorry to hear your news, but really pleased that you're building a good rapport with your surgeon. The not knowing is always hard and you'll feel much more in control once your treatment plan is finalised. Let your family and friends be there for you, you don't have to do this alone. Take care x
